The best application of "embrace, extend, extinguish" I ever saw:

1) Replicate SVN workflow in GIT. SVNs features/limitations are a tiny subset of GIT so this works well. Not too proud to admit the first day had a handwritten translation cheatsheet. 2) Stop worrying about branching and merging being evil, last year rolled out git flow which mostly just formalized and standardized whats already being done, etc. 3) Shut down the old SVN infrastructure after its unused long enough.
