It refuses to recognise "git svn" as a valid command, and "svn" does not appear in the list of commands when I type, "svn --help" in Git Bash (I am using Git in Windows, if that makes any difference). I tried to look for svn2git, but the homepage linked from the link that you gave me produced a 404.

And I think that it does require a username and empty password. I haven't tried the Github IRC channel - I must confess - I did not know that there was one.

You should be able to use the exact command I showed earlier within
"git bash".  Also, you'd want to type "git help svn", not "svn --help"
to see the manual.
