We hope to provide more information on how people can switch to the new git repository once it is in place later this week. Then you can keep your current git repo without any problem. You just need to change the svn url and add noMetadata = true in [svn-remote] From http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-svn.html: svn-remote.name.noMetadata This gets rid of the git-svn-id: lines at the end of every commit. If you lose your .git/svn/git-svn/.rev_db file, git-svn will not be able to rebuild it and you won't be able to fetch again, either. This is fine for one-shot imports. This says that without the metadata there is no way to rebuild the git- svn metadata after cloning from git.webkit.org. This would prevent any direct use of git-svn with the cloned repositories.
