I have not yet worked with git. But lets try. That would be \

Oops, there are 2 empty patch files. After removing them, and cloning again, it seems \
to completely fail:

When you have resolved this problem run "git am --resolved".
If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git am --skip".
To restore the original branch and stop patching run "git am --abort".


Even if I try the next patches via "git am --skip", I nearly always receive error \
messages:

Applying: Remove all unneccesary explicit or implicit spacing (the default of 11 \
                pixels of contents margin is simply way too much for the usage in \
                KMix).

I got stuck. If you could give me instrauctions, I would be very happy.

The most important part for me is that I do not lose SVN history from trunk, even \
though I moved all source files to new directories. Keeping the history from my  \
branch would be an extra, but not required.
