title: Best tooling/methodology to work with a git client and an SVN repository
body: <p>I've used SVN for about two years now (mostly via TortoiseSVN and IntelliJ), and experimented with git (mostly via TortoiseGIT ... detect a pattern here?)</p>
  
  <p>Our company is using SVN for the repository, and they're not thinking of switching any time soon. What is the recommended best practices and tooling to use git locally and work with the remote SVN server?</p>
  
  <p>As you probably gathered by now, I prefer a simple shell-extension/IDE GUI to command line tools. Also, I'm working on Windows (see this <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/350907/git-svn-on-windows-where-to-get-binaries">related yet outdated question</a>).</p>
