This guide on how to convert an SVN repository to a git repository was mostly taken from John Albin Wilkins post on Converting a Subversion repository to Git.

1. Clone your fork:

git clone [email protected]:YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-FORKED-REPO.git

2. Add remote from original repository in your forked repository:

cd into/cloned/fork-repo
git remote add upstream git://github.com/ORIGINAL-DEV-USERNAME/REPO-YOU-FORKED-FROM.git
git fetch upstream

# if branch_name exists, it will return its hash
# if not, it will returns null

git rev-parse --verify --quiet branch_name
