1. Set up directories and permissions:
 mkdir -p /etc/sync2git/projects
 mkdir -p /var/lib/sync2git
 chown sync2git /var/lib/sync2git
2. Create a project:
 mkdir -p /etc/sync2git/projects/myproject
 cat > /etc/sync2git/projects/myproject/config << EOF
 SVN_REPO=http://myproject.googlecode.com/svn
 GIT_REPO=git@github.com:myprofile/myproject.git
 EOF 
3. Set up the authors.txt file:
 cd /etc/sync2git/projects/myproject
 svn-authors-extract http://myproject.googlecode.com/svn
 vi authors.txt
 When editing the authors.txt file, please remember that you
 won't be able to amend the mappings again after people start
 using your git repository to create forks or branches. It
 is essential to put the full names and email addresses correctly
 before you make the git mirror available publicly.
 It is OK to go and add extra records to the file later, for example,
 if new users are added to SVN.
 Also, if uploading to a service like github, please use the
 email addresses that the committers use for their github accounts.
 This way, the contributors will be recognised properly for their
 work, as github will convert the name next to each commit to a
 hyperlink going to the corresponding github user page.
4. Run it manually (optional)
 sync2git
5. Run it from cron
 Set up a sync2git user and group on the system to own everything:
 groupadd -r sync2git
 useradd -d /var/lib/sync2git -g sync2git -r -s /bin/false sync2git
 chown -R sync2git.sync2git /var/lib/sync2git
 Set up a cron job:
 cat >> /etc/crontab << EOF
 0 * * * * sync2git /usr/local/bin/sync2git > /dev/null
 EOF
