A "Git" like workflow using Subversion?

Question

In my previous team we used Git. I am used to performing small and many commits, that represent the ongoing progress of my development work.

When ready, i usually push changes to the central git repository to share changes with other team members.

In the current organization i work in, SVN is used, and this whole workflow is not available.

What happens is, that i am working on feature X for a very long period of time, and commit my entire feature as a single commit, containing many files.

This is cumbersome and error prone.

I wonder what would be the ideal dev workflow using Subversion? is there anything that might resemble the Git workflow i was used to ?

Answer 1

You should convince new team to switch to git. If you can't do that for whatever reason, you could still use git for yourself via git svn - it will let you work using git primitives and automatically save it back into svn as necessary. Progit (official Git book) has whole chapter devoted to this very topic.
