Using SVN to connect to a git repository

Question

I'm using git for my source code management. For some reasons I have to to use VisualParadigm for my UML diagrams.

Unfortunately VisualParadigm only supports SVN. Is it possible to connect via SVN to a git repository or to the remote repository?

Answer 1

If the git repository is on github, you can do it directly—Github supports SVN access using the same URLs as one uses for git!

E.g.:

svn checkout https://github.com/offby1/rudybot.git/trunk rudybot

Checks the trunk (master in git) of rudybot out into a local SVN directory called rudybot.

[Branches etc are handled in the normal SVN manner, and are underneath .../branches from the top-level; if you just checkout the ....git URL, you'll get a directory containing both trunk and branches...]
