I have to admit, you can learn something new everyday! I never realized
that git and svn repositories were compatible enough to do what you describe
above. Personally I like git and think it is the better versioning tool
because of its capabilities. I will have to give your idea a try.
As for the reset tip, I actually implemented that one a few days earlier,
but thanks for mentioning it anyway!
