+1.10a Using git with the SVN source code tree.
+
+  Install git and the git-svn package.
+  Run "mkdir git; cd git; git svn clone <svn-url>", e.g. if you are using
+  the anonymous svn tree, run
+  "git svn clone http://anonsvn.wireshark.org/wireshark/trunk/"
+
+  After that, a typical workflow may look like this (from "man git-svn"):
+
+  # Clone a repo (like git clone):
+          git svn clone http://svn.example.com/project/trunk
+  # Enter the newly cloned directory:
+          cd trunk
+  # You should be on master branch, double-check with ´git branch´
+          git branch
+  # Do some work and commit locally to git:
+          git commit ...
+  # Something is committed to SVN, rebase your local changes against the
+  # latest changes in SVN:
+          git svn rebase
+  # Now commit your changes (that were committed previously using git) to SVN
+  # as well as automatically updating your working HEAD:
+          git svn dcommit
+  # Append svn:ignore settings to the default git exclude file:
+          git svn show-ignore >> .git/info/exclude
