I don't think ASF is supporting any way to get changes back into the
SVN repository but they're hosting all these Git read-only mirrors and
even some on github if I understand correctly.

I think there's some flag in git help svn (like instead of using
--stdlayout, you use --branches, --tags, etc.).  Dunno if that helps
and you may have already looked at that.
