That's exactly the situation I'm in, and git-svn is doing an admirable job of integrating the two environments without disrupting the folks who are happy with svn. It seems like the git svn server would be useful in the opposite environment, where you have a git project that people want to access with svn tools (e.g. because there's no git integration in an IDE or whatever.) Maybe I'm just misunderstanding what the server in question would do, but it seems like it's not likely to be that useful in cases where you already have a real svn server running and holding the canonical copy of the project. -Steve
