I've just been through a Subversion-to-git migration, and have been
directly affected by an inadequacy in git-svn - failure to recognizer
SVN tags as tags rather than branches. See my blog post at
<http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=1806>, "Subversion to GIT Migration: A Tale
of Two Gotchas" for discussion.
Accordingly, I support Ramkumar's proposal to rethink and rewrite the
Subversion interface. A concerted effort to do seamless interoperability
would be well justified given the ubiquity of Subversion. I think Rankumar
has chosen a goal that is useful, well defined, and realistically scoped.
