+MIGRATING A REPO FROM GIT TO SVN
+--------------------------------
+
+You will need git-svn installed on your PC.
+
+1. Create an empty repo on the SVN server (ie. myrepo in the previous case)
+
+2. From your PC create an empty standard SVN structure on the repo:
+	svn mkdir https://svn.barcelli.net/svn/myrepo{trunk,branches,tags}
+
+3. Clone the SVN repo as GIT on your PC with a standard SVN layout:
+	git svn clone https://svn.barcelli.net/svn/myrepo --stdlayout
+
+4. Add the original GIT repo as a remote
+	cd myrepo         #Change into the repo directory
+	git remote add origin https://path-to-your-old-git-repo.git
+	git fetch
+
+5. Create a local branch for the remote master with a different name (ie. old-master):
+	git checkout -b old-master origin/master
+
+6. While on the old-master local branch perform a rebase:
+	git rebase --onto master --root
+
+7. Push all the commits to the SVN repo:
+	git svn dcommit --add-author-from
+
+   Now you have the full history of the GIT commits in the SVN repo on the SVN server.
+
+8. Going forward just freshly checkout the SVN repo and start working normally with SVN:
+	svn co https://svn.barcelli.net/svn/myrepo
+
