Yes, indeed it is. I recently started using git-svn to clone svn
repositories so I can work with them when my internet connection is lagging.
Basically what I did was to first use "git-svn clone -s
svn://svn.debian.org/nut/" which will get you a local copy with all the
branches and tags.
Then I do a "git checkout master && git-svn fetch && git-svn rebase" to
update my local copy when I need something new.
I'm having a local branch set up on which I make my changes and when I
want to get my changes onto the latest trunk I do a "git rebase -i master".
I create my patches using git-format-patch. I never had the time to test
out stuff like dcommit yet, but I heard it works good.
If you need anymore details, I'll provide them.
