Yes, git-svn is somewhat of a blessing for git users who are stuck with an svn repository. In my limited experience, however, one doesn't get the full set of advantages that git gives. The impedance mismatch between the two data models is just too big. In the words of someone on #git: "git-svn may be the best thing that's happened to svn, but it's the worst thing that could happen to git". // Carl
