Can I use a GIT repository with SVN clients?

Question

Currently I'm using the following SVN clients: TortoiseSVN for Windows and AnkhSVN for Visual Studio 2005+. I heard that GIT has a great level of interoperability with SVN. Would my tools work with a GIT repository?

Answer 1

At least, regarding Tortoise, you have a git-equivalent:

TortoiseGit .

And gitExtension can help with Visual Studio, as mentioned in this SO question

Answer 2

Nope. Use the git client. Git is more complex than SVN and has a very different structure.

Answer 3

GitHub.com对其Git托管存储库的SVN客户端具有读/写支持： https ： //github.com/blog/644-subversion-write-support

Answer 4

You can checkout a git repository but you can't do most of other operations. You can setup tortoise git which provides same interface for Git although the commands are different.
