For what it's worth, I'll second this, although Dave's right--the post
is a little presumptuous. Having worked on a number of svn-to-git
transitions, the mechanics of preserving history are actually pretty
trivial (git cvsimport / git svn clone make this dead easy), but doing
the right thing with commit authorship, keyword expansion, empty
folders, etc. is much trickier. And if you *don't* do that right off
the bat, the entire "lineage" changes when you correct it later,
making merges a nightmare (if you do them naively in this situation,
you end up with two alternate timelines in the same repo). The
transition needs to be done right (rather than running `git cvsimport`
and throwing the result up on github).
