Hi,
I'm not involved in media wiki development but I've been through the got
thing a couple of times. There's an alternative command line interface
called easygit which you can download and install. It makes the learning
curve shallower with more intuitive commands, more helpful output and much
better man pages.

Folks, the switchover documentation is all aimed at

developers. We drones who just use SVN as a simple yet risky way to keep
our live version of MediaWiki fresh need instructions on how to:
* install git (OK, apt-get install git etc.)
* convert our maintenance scripts to use git commands instead of svn
commands. In particular for me
svn update
svn status
for i in RELEASE-NOTES-*
do
echo $i diff:
svn diff -r ${BASE-BASE}:HEAD $i|wdiff -d -3|tee
/tmp/mediawikiDiff$$
done
Add notes also on how we first cd(1) to the right directory, run some
command that zaps all the hidden .svn files and another command that
adds all the equivalent hidden .git files or whatever.
