Mathias, I'm currently working on a conversion to Git that faithfully
preserves *all* past history. The current boost-svn.git mirror out there on
the Net does not do this, and so is not sufficient for us to move to in my
opinion.
I'll post here when I get closer; I'm about 95% complete with the process,
which directly rewrites Subversion dump files into their corresponding Git
objects, paying especial care that no change is lost from any revision's set
of transactions.
