I just put my git mirror of the matplotlib svn repository online. This
is experimental in nature. Thanks to github for hosting this project.
Anyhow, I added instructions for how to use this (including to interact
with the central svn repository) here:
http://github.com/astraw/matplotlib/tree/master/README.git
Note that the initial downloads are about 150 MB in size.
I have not actually used git in collaboration with others save through
the svn interface, so I don't have experience with some aspects of git,
particularly collaborating branching/merging/pushing etc. For
single-user use, however, I've been finding all that stuff very nice.
One thing particularly useful is the ability to clean up history before
committing changes to a central subversion repository.
Anyhow, thanks to Ondrej for the critical clue for how to make this work.

Has anyone had any success installing git-svn on a managed machine without root priviledges? It seems that the Perl Alien::SVN dependency is totally broken in that context.

Just got an account, but am getting a permission denied on the first

Hi John,
Michael just wrote me that he got the same error. I think that perhaps I
need to assign write permissions even to read using the "personal" URL.
For now, can you try the public clone URL
git://github.com/astraw/matplotlib.git instead? I will attempt to sort
this out... (And of course give you and Michael and anyone else write
permissions if need be.) I'm new to git in a multi-developer context and
git-svn may add another layer here, so please bear with me.

I updated the documentation to hopefully address the issue that John
(and Michael) had. I also moved the git documentation to a section in
doc/faq/installing_faq.rst.
And I noticed that github does automatic parsing of rst files. Check
this out -- Sweet! 
http://github.com/astraw/matplotlib/tree/master/doc/faq/installing_faq.rst#install-from-git
Note that there is a section called "A note about git write access"
which outlines an issue we may want to address, but probably only after
some familiarity with the issues involved. For now, for me, even a
one-way sync of the svn repo is a huge win for looking at history
locally and doing "git bisect". (And "one-way sync" doesn't give justice
to the ease of committing to the svn repository from git.)
