Thanks Thomas

Your videos were helpful. One of the doubts I had was the warnings about
the difficulty of simultaneously interacting with a subversion master
repository and multiple git repositories - which there are several
different approaches to, including yours. Am I right to think that as
long as I cannot write back from my git clone of the svn master to the
svn master itself, and only need the ability to keep fetching from the
svn master, most of the complications disappear? So that I can just
treat the git clone of the master as one branch among others?
