Using git svn with virtio svn repository:

Initial clone (fetches all branches, takes a very long time):
        git svn clone -s https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/virtio
Pull:
        git svn rebase
Push:
        git svn dcommit

Tagging 1.0 cs02 to match the released specification:
        git branch -t v1.0-cs02

Updating the trunk with all changes made on 1.0 branch:

	git config --global svn.pushmergeinfo true
	git checkout -b master origin/trunk
	git svn fetch
	git svn rebase -l
	git merge --no-ff origin/v1.0
		[ resolve merge conflicts ]
	git svn dcommit

Faster initial clone from git mirror (example using mst's mirror at kernel.org):

	git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/mst/virtio-text.git
	cd virtio-text
	git config --remove-section remote.origin
	git svn init -s https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/svn/virtio
	git svn rebase
	git checkout -b trunk origin/trunk

Updating a git mirror from git-svn repository (after setting up a
remote named "mirror"):
	git push mirror --prune +refs/remotes/origin/*:refs/heads/*
