# Initialize a new git repository for syncing
You use ```git svn``` for syncing to repositories.  However, due to the size of ours and the history, it's easier to be
a bit more picky about what we sync (not to mention people have copied the entire repository a couple times and it makes
things REALLY difficult to do)
