I have no idea why you guys think I'm an idiot.
I have read every link I could find (most of the Pro Git book and watched several hours of git video tutorials). The problem is not with GIT-SVN, it's with the GIT merge, more specifically with a simultaneous modify and move, which conflicts probably because it is detected as a modify and delete.
Could someone please be a little more friendly, I need advice on how to solve hundreds of git merge conflicts (eg. parallel move and modify, which should have been merged automatically).

Thanks,
Lőrinc
