Subject: Initializing svn repo from git

Hi, folks. This is probably targeted at Eric Wong, but any assistance
is welcome. I asked on #git, and decideded that a larger audience
might be interested in this question, and whatever its answer turns
out to be.
I've been working on a project, and tracking its history in git. Due
to lack of windows support, and windows-only developers joining my
project, my higher-ups decided that we needed to use SVN. I expect
I'll probably use git-svn, myself, but I'm faced with a task:
I need to use the contents of my git repository, which is *very*
linear with only one branch, to fill in some history for a new, empty
svn repository.
My current steps, which isn't complete (identifiers cleaned out to
protect... well, me.)
$ git svn init svn://server/project project
$ cd project
project$ git svn fetch
Fetching git-svn
r0 = df2d1a798e85c75b9abbfd22fe06ff651a8fa9dd
project$ git pull /git/project

Initial commit of project
Um... now what? Can someone walk me through this?
Oh, how I wish for a native Windows version of git. That's the
*right* solution, I know.
