I agree with Michael's "yay" and also think it's fine that after
patch 3 it isn't there yet.

That's because git-svn.perl doesn't use Git::SVN on its own but helps
it out a little.  So even if we only applied patches 1-3, git-svn
would still work (maybe it's worth testing "perl -MGit::SVN" by hand
to avoid the "it's doubtful" about whether Git::SVN is self-contained
and replace it with a more certain statement?), and patch 4 just makes
it even better.

I think this is pretty good already, though I also like your
suggestion re 2/4.

I haven't reviewed the tests these introduce and assume Eric has that
covered.

Thanks,
