Thanks Sam,
Now I see the noMetadata option.  I'll give that try and see how much
trouble I get myself in.

As I was thinking about this some more, I started wondering if perhaps
the information could be stored in a .git-svnid file, that was
versioned on the subversion server as well as in the local git
repository.

I'll have to think through the implications of your explanation in the
mean time.
