Thank you very much, that would be very appreciated. While we're at it: could you consider putting the svn-imported refs not directly under remote? something like refs/remote/svn would be rather cleaner. > I really have a lot of catching up to do with all the new(er) things > happening in git.

I enormously appreciate the efforts you've put into git-svn so far, it has been quite a refreshing change from having to way eons every time I had to commit something, while still giving me the ability to keep my work nicely in sync with the upstream repo. I've considered tackling these minor issues myself, but my understanding of git's internals is most definitely not yet adequate, so I haven't been able to do any hacking yet. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
