To date, I've only used svn to access Apache.

Yes.

I've done this in the past with an svn repo.

That's an interesting technique!


Ideally, I'd love it if those of us who choose to use git could use =20
normal git repository collaboration techniques somewhere, and any of =20
us could then push changes into svn somehow. I've run into problems =20
with this in the past because of the 'git-svn' text that gets inserted =20=

into the commit messages, which mucks with the SHA-1 identities of =20
commits, and thus with histories.

I guess with your git-on-top technique, we could push repos to github =20=

that contain just a single branch (or all branches, in exploded =20
format), and we'd be able to collaborate meaningfully, but with svn-=20
style "project branching" instead of git-style.

FTR, I tried to 'git svn clone' the Apache repo last night, and got =20
this after about 45 mins:
