#if you want an entire repo with *all history*
git-svn clone https://my.server/repo/myproj/trunk

###### if you want only a subset of history #########

#initialize a working folder to be used with git-svn
git-svn init https://my.server/repo/myproj/trunk

#fetch only the history back to <some previous version>
git-svn fetch -r <some previous version>:HEAD

####################################################

#to merge a branch, but instead of taking all history from the branch, 
#just bring in the final changes, a git add is necessary afterward
git merge --squash <branch to merge to current>

#use a commit message other than's git's for svn
git svn dcommit -e "commit message"

#gitk showing all branches
gitk --all

#last log message (useful when you need to refer back to the 
#last log message if you forgot to commit a file that belonged to that changeset
git log HEAD^..HEAD --pretty=format:%s

#to figure out if there is difference between the local git repo and svn
git-svn dcommit --dry-run

#clone repo from revision 1124 onward and create remote branches for folders under the branches
git-svn clone -T trunk -b branches -t tags -r 1124:HEAD https://source.myserver.com/some/svn/repo
