<p>I read the Git manual, FAQ, Git - SVN crash course, etc. and they all explain this and that, but nowhere can you find a simple instruction like:</p>

<p>SVN repository in: <code>svn://myserver/path/to/svn/repos</code></p>

<p>Git repository in: <code>git://myserver/path/to/git/repos</code></p>

<pre><code>git-do-the-magic-svn-import-with-history \
svn://myserver/path/to/svn/repos \
git://myserver/path/to/git/repos
</code></pre>

<p>I don't expect it to be that simple, and I don't expect it to be a single command. But I do expect it not to try to explain anything - just to say what steps to take given this example.</p>

Magic:
```
```
$ git svn clone http://svn/repo/here/trunk
```
```
Git and SVN operate very differently.  You need to learn Git, and if you want to track changes from SVN upstream, you need to learn
```
git-svn
```
.  The
```
git-svn
```
main page has a good examples section
:
```
```
$ git svn --help
```
```
