So I've been using Git-SVN for about a month at work now thanks largely to a gist put together by the magnanimous Lachlan Hardy. Honestly, if you are getting started and have a standard SVN layout, that has all you are gonna need. Naturally, where I work doesn't exactly have a standard layout so I had to adjust the instructions a little bit. I wanted to help explain to others how to handle these other variants I have encountered.

Modals: Love them, hate them they are a current fad (and have been for a while). Modals are usually implemented via javascript for older browser support (though there are some cool things being done with CSS3 on the matter). I've seen it done lots of ways, but here's a simple way to make modals "work" on a browser without javascript.
