The files in question are not already in svn. But he does want to work on other files that *are* in the svn repository, and wants those changes to be committed back. So my assumption was that he would do something like maintain his local-only changes as StGIT patches that never get committed to git. His other changes would get committed from StGIT to git, and from there he'd do his normal git-svn dcommit. Or maybe git-svn dcommit followed by stg rebase since git-svn dcommit creates new revision IDs. In any event, now that I know it's working successfully for at least one person, I'll point him to stg and he can play with it a bit. Didn't want to lead him into a dead end. Thanks! -Steve
