Some things I think are important...that I want to articulate better:

Understand where your project is, who has access to it, and what those with access can do with it.
Retain access—in every possible way—to your own project. Respect this access: Value it, appreciate it, demand it. Be ready, at any time, to take you work with you and deploy it somewhere else. Or, at least, understand what steps would be involved to be able to do that.
Work with people who respect that ability. Privilege those sorts of collaborations over those that seek and enforce propriety, isolation, feifdoms, etc.
Be ready to articulate what exactly you want your work to do, why you're doing it, and why someone should take time with it.
If you can't articulate something, capture that as a question, and take time at some point to consider it.
Continue to articulate a lifecycle for your projects. Share this with others, so they know—and can possibly contribute to—your plans.
Any engagement with your work, by anyone, is

Is there a label or name for this task?

Converting this:

<?php
echo "<div class=\"db_result_sub_area\"><strong><a href=\"radial_graph.php?person_id=" . $unique_id . "\" target=\"_blank\">Explore Radial Graph</a></strong> (opens in new tab)</div>\n" ;
echo "</div>";
?>

A Git-SVN Workflow

Scenario: There is a private Subversion repository that is the primary repository for a project. I still need to push, and pull, from that repo, while also using a remote Github repo as the primary place to save ongoing work, issues, etc.

Workflow

Subversion repo uses a non-standard layout; No trunk, no branches.
Git repo uses a modified version of git-flow.
- The master branch is a mirror of the Subversion repo. Never commit to that directly. Or, if I do, I immediate do git svn dcommit before makign topic branches.
Topic branches for features and bug-fixes, off of master.
