How do I migrate a flat svn repo to git repo?

Is the Git URL of my repo an email address, or a uniquely structured address specific to Git?

• Specifically I am using Heroku actually. What is the format used here known as… "[email protected]:myappname.git".

• Answer:

  Not quite. The format you see does resemble an email address, but it is actually just pointing to a specific path on the filesystem on Heroku's server. To break it down: 'git' refers to a user called git 'heroku.com' will end up pointing to an email address Everything after the : is your repo name. All of these together roughly translate to "Find the repo myapp.git on the server whose name is http://heroku.com, and do all of this as the git user"
