Right I am not doing upstream commits back to svn luckily. I submit patches
which I prefer anyway as it keeps things simpler and safer; I really don't
want to corrupt a major software projects repository :)

Thanks again for the help and advice, I am going to do one of my ssh crib
sheets for git that I can cut and paste into the terminal, makes life
simpler, and less error prone. I was thinking I could allow the user to
enter their repository path then generate all the command lines for whatever
they want to choose, all with a little bit of Javascript, for a bit of
fun :)
