Hi, unfortunately, we have to maintain our website in subversion; I still want to ensure that the site/ directory in git accurately reflects the changes we make to our site. Therefore, please make sure that you commit each and every change to the svn site/ directory to git, too.
I highly recommend using git svn[1] for the site in your checkout of the main repo. With that, you should make all changes to the site in git first, then cherry-pick them onto git-svn. I just went through the repo and cherry-picked all the discrepancies from svn into git; though, inexplicably, there were differences between the exact same commits in svn and git (e.g., svn had site/Gemfile.lock while git didn't) David [1] It seems that 'git svn fetch' got a major speed boost - I just did that for the entire repo, and it finished in under an hour, might have even been 30 mins.
