I can't speak to what the NumPy folk are doing, but I can say that moving the trunk of one of my small subversion projects over to git was as easy as: 0) Create authors.txt to map svn committers to git committers 1) Checkout svn trunk using git-svn (which results in a git repo) 2) Push to github I was really surprised.
