No, I know about that page but it's not useful. I know I must do a new checkout, but I'd use a guide on how to do so in the best way. How to list "my" files in the folder (there are so many...)? What will happen with files with local modifications (svn handles them very easily)? What changes in git compared to what you can/have to do with svn?
For now I only tried making the checkout and then moving over all old files, but then I can't merge them because git thinks everything is up to date. I guess I can try doing the opposite, but it's so easy to waste hours and get terrible headaches with git that I know I'll be too lazy to do any update for months (until something breaks horribly) unless I have a guide. Thanks.

+1 There is a problem with changes on the working copy which are not committed or stashed. Pulling the repo often fails with the following:
C:\pwb\compat>git pull "origin" master -v --progress
* branch master -> FETCH_HEAD Updating f9f28e8..9fe0bc2 error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge: externals/__init__.py Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge. Aborting
svn merged it automatically if there where no conficts and if there where some conflicts I could easy solve it. Any ideas for that flow with git?
