     46This will add the following section to your `.git/config`:

     53
     54You can then run the following command to have `git-svn` rebuild its metadata from your local repository, and to pull any recent commits from the WebKit SVN repository.

     63
     64{{{

     67
     68You can then merge or rebase your local branches with `origin/master` to pick up the new commits.

    64 First, you'll need to make sure you have the appropriate remote in your git config:
    65 
    66 {{{
    67 [svn-remote "svn"]
    68     url = http://svn.webkit.org/repository/webkit/trunk
    69     fetch = :refs/remotes/git-svn
    70 }}}
    71 
    72 Now, you need to update your repo to the latest from the svn repository.  You can either:
    73 
    74  * Run 'git svn rebase' which will be incredibly slow...
    75  * Use the {{{git update-ref}}} trick manually as mentioned above...
    76  * Use the handy {{{update-gitsvn-from-origin}}} script found in the QtWebKit tools repository here: http://gitorious.org/qtwebkit/tools
    77 
    78 After you have a working remote and have fetched all the blobs of info from it you can:
    79  1. Create a 'tot_staging' branch or whatever name you choose
     86After you have configured your working copy to track the Subversion repository you can:
     87 1. Create a `tot_staging` branch or whatever name you choose
    8088 2. Apply a patch, cherry-pick a commit, or even merge a branch if it has been reviewed
    81  3. Run {{{git svn rebase}}} and fix any ChangeLog conflicts that might result
    82  4. And then when everything is ready: {{{git svn dcommit}}}
