You're absolutely right.  With the rebase, I have my history (which so
far is linear) in the SVN repository, and I can continue using git
locally and pushing my commits back to Subversion.  I also want to try
Björn's suggestions about merging SVN branches.  While Subversion
fixed the most annoying problems in CVS, I think it got a lot of
branching, merging, and tagging wrong.  Maybe using git to handle
merging will make a nice band-aid.

Anyway, thanks to all for the suggestions!
