Doing it properly means building a git repo with proper, full-name author entries
from SVN commit names and "patch by" attributions, checking that we get everything
external in a proper way via submodules (by what I can tell submodules still do not support
always fetching the latest version?), write usage documentation and accept we can
no longer fix commit messages.
I at least don't feel like investing the effort for what seems like not much of an advantage
if any over git-svn.
