Yes. Thank you for CC'ing me, Erik.

Honestly, I've just started looking into this issue, so I'll wait for
someone else to comment on this. As far as interest is concerned, yes-
a lot of people seem to be pretty excited about my GSoC project
proposal [1]. My proposal has more to do with getting native support
working, than building a fantastic SVN importer. I certainly have
neither the time or experience to build an SVN importer that's any
better than git-svn.perl in the summer term, and I'm clear that I
don't intend to do this. However, if my proposal gets accepted, I
could work with you to get it integrated into the remote helper that
I'll be building. Depending on the complexity of your project, this
might only be possible at the end of my GSoC term.
