Hmm, that's a mistake - svn should continue to work (read only). I'll
check with the osuosl.org guys. We don't have any links with the
correspondence between svn and git revisions, but I still have my
git-svn tree, so if you give me the svn rev, then I'll look up the
corresponding git revision.

You can checkout older git revisions with git checkout <rev>. Normally
you can also use the date based syntax (see man git-rev-parse) like:

git show @{2009-05-01}, but the commit dates are not correct for the
pre-git commits.
