Checking out from svn is:

`` git svn clone svn+ssh://svn.fedorahosted.org/svn/pki –prefix svn/ –stdlayout``

The flag –stdlayout is shorthand for -T trunk -b branches -t tags which are are svn specific

The flag –prefix lets us name the remote repo.

To work with Trunk

`` git checkout -b trunk svn/trunk``

Creates branch and checks out all in one.

To Fetch changes from central git repo:

`` git svn fetch``

`` git rebase svn/trunk``

To prepare a patch for review:

`` git format-patch  -M -C –patience –full-index``
