Based on these posts and on this recommended post, and also this post.

You should install msysgit, to do the checkout.

md C:\relax
cd C:\relax

To clone from a revision number, use -r NR. This will tell which revision to start taking history from. If you want to include all of the history, just leave that option off, but it will take a very long time, and you really don't need all of it. The older a revision you choose, the longer it will take to import. But you will not be able to "git blame" past the earliest revision you import.

You also need an authors.txt file, to correctly convert the metadata.

git svn clone http://svn.gna.org/svn/relax/trunk --no-metadata -A authors.txt
git svn clone -r 20000:HEAD http://svn.gna.org/svn/relax/trunk --no-metadata -A authors.txt

git svn clone http://svn.gna.org/svn/relax/branches/relax_disp --no-metadata -A authors.txt
git svn clone -r 20000:HEAD http://svn.gna.org/svn/relax/branches/relax_disp --no-metadata -A authors.txt

#Build
cd trunk
scons
cd ..
cd relax_disp
scons

For futurev updates to the SVN revision HEAD, you now need to do a git svn rebase, which is very similar to: svn up

git svn rebase

Check branch information

git branch -a

Add remotes to github

# Add trunk as origin repository, from the github nmr-relax organization.

Setup remotes to github

For branch trunk

cd C:\relax\trunk
git remote add origin https://github.com/nmr-relax/trunk.git
# If you are a member of the organization, with writing permissions, then do:
git remote add origin https://GIT_USER_NAME@github.com/nmr-relax/trunk.git
# See the info
git remote -v
git remote show origin

Now go to github.com at https://github.com/nmr-relax/trunk and click Fork.
Now add this as a private remote, by setting the remote name hub.

git remote add hub https://GIT_USER_NAME@github.com/GIT_USER_NAME/trunk.git

Now fetch changes from remote hub

git fetch origin
git fetch hub
git branch -a

We now change to your hub branch

git co hub/master
