for stuff that's upstream in an svn repository I often use git-svn.

but in most cases my starting point is just a tar archive or the ast
release or something alike. in this cases I often start doing modifications
in the plain extracted sources and recognise at a later point that I should
have used an scm to track my changes. Then I'm using a simple shell script
I wrote:

	http://svn.clifford.at/tools/trunk/git-kickin.sh

This script is executed in the extraced sources and is passed the original
tar archive as argument. it then creates a .git directory with the content
of the tar archive as initial commit. its a trivial task but it has turned
out to be pretty helpfull to have a script do this job..

yours,
