Exploring SVN / GIT and Jenkins integration

Was working on creating a test SVN repository for testing purposes.
I have worked extensively with CVS before in my experience in HP enterprise services, but done limited work with SVN.

SVN is much better CM tool and offers a set of decent web interfaces and integrates well with apache.
Jenkins also supports GIT, which would be my next logical step.
Jenkins can do a lot integrating with a CM tool from doing old style deployment to distributing codes and scripts to different parts of a given system.
Jenkins has the ability to managed remote nodes and can even work with standard password authentication. handles all the overhead beautifully :)

Setting up GIT is similar to SVN.
Now following the below link to setup a GIT repository for testing.

integrating git with Jenkins would work straight forward similar to SVN.
