Note that initial clone sequentially requests all revisions from svn reopsitory, so it may take some time and generate some stress on the svn server. (One may choose to clone only the recent revisions, but this defeats one of the important advantages of Git -- ability to view history in a reasonable time). Following fetches, however, are equivalent to the usual "svn update" in terms of server load. This is primarily why official git mirror would be useful -- people could clone the mirror from github and then reconfigure it to fetch/dcommit to svn repository. -- Alexander S.
