Yep that works but it don't preserve checkins or commits (to git). So when your 
code gets checked in to SVN it will a miss a large amount of important info. 
I've (so far) not been able to work out a way around that.

For those you don't know git and svn can work fairly well together but sadly 
the standard version of git in OSX and the standard github client don't come 
with SVN support and you need to install git-svn.

There's a nice write up on how to install and use git-svn on OSX (what I happen 
to currently use) here:
http://intridea.com/posts/going-rogue-with-git-svn-on-os-x

It assumes you have MacPorts installed (you can also use Brew) which requires 
Xcode which is probably overkill for just wanting to use git svn, but being a 
developer you should already have it installed right? :-)

The initial check out of the flex SDK from SVN to Git will take some time and 
I'm guessing even more time when we get the "real" flex SDK with the full 
version history. On my machine with a decent (by Australian standards) internet 
connection it took over 2 hours.
