Anyone collaborating on history can clone the repository they're collaborating from, including all git-remote-svn meta-data. It seems nearly impossible to guarantee that two people that clone the same repository at different times get the same git hashes (unless we stub out all mutable data, which is ugly and a pita). --=20 Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier
