Git development

Motivation
Subversion needs an online repository, to store each commits. Subsequent calls to svn diff > patch will generate the difference according to the last revision. Therefore the development at the moment, require to
- make some lines of code
- make a path file and a commit message
- use the support tracker to upload patch and commit message
- wait for acceptance
- wait for commit to official repository
- then do an svn update
- then return to point 1
This takes time, and require that repository maintainer is online.
If the above scheme is not followed, the patch files will come out of sync.
This can be solved by using Git. See here for git installation.
An working example can bee seen here at: Git asynchronous development
How to create SVN compatible pathches in Git, can be see here: Git patch.
How to setup your development Git branch, is explained here Git svn.
Suggested faster development, keeping infrastructure
