Create the new branch from v3 then, and use git svn to pull it in.
Then you can do 'git rebase that-svn-branch' on your git branch to put
all commits (not as one big commit) on top of that branch point. Now
you 'git checkout' that-svn-branch and do 'git reset --hard
the-git-branch', which should now consist of
v1--v2--v3--v4(git)--v5(git), etc. If you do 'git svn dcommit' from
the that-svn-branch now it should dcommit to svn each of your git
commits individually. Of course, don't forget to make a backup before
you start messing around :P.
