[jsword-devel] Git

[Trenton D. Adams]

Git automatically takes svn layouts, and changes them to fit git.  I 
don't recall exactly how I did it, but I believe it was "git svn clone" 
with the --stdlayout option, and use the base repo (not trunk).

I'm sure some googling would help  But, it wouldn't take long to setup a 
test repo with a few files, some tags, some branches, and then try it on 
your local machine.
