Hi.

The git-svn docs say that it serves as a bi-directionaly gateway
between git and svn, but that the main repo is a Subversion repository.
My goal with the PythonCAD repo is to convert it so that the main
repository is in git, and then I'm going to try to use git-svn to
push my changes into the now-secondary Subversion repo. This way, I can
make a distributed git repo available to developers wanting to
contribute to PythonCAD, plus keep the developers currently using
Subversion from having to make any changes if they either don't want to
or are unable to (i.e. windows developers/users).

Is git-svnimport maintenence on the wane?

Offtopic P.S.: Anyone know of a git mirror of the GCC repo, or do people
use git-svn to access that code via git?
