Needing a git-svn workflow suggestion to keep personal files away from svn

Question

I am starting to read about git-svn now to use it with a project that use SVN.

I would like to have some files just for me (todo files, scratch code, etc), and I will like to keep track of them in the Git repository. Is it possible to have some files in the Git but not in the SVN repository?

I though about having a branch master that will be synchronized with the SVN repository and keep my work into another branch (work), but then I will need to merge/rebase work into master before pushing changes to SVN and remove these files and commits/log messages related to them... seems unpractical (and I don't know how to do it).

I am also thinking about adding a lot of comments into the code as I am understanding it, but most of them I should keep just for me.

Does anyone have a workflow suggestion to keep some files away from the SVN repository?

Or should I just forget this idea and have another git repository for this?

Answer 1

Why do your todo files and so forth need to be in the same repository with the rest of the code? Just make a new repository somewhere else on your machine.
