Also as I don't know if GitHub is using git-svn for its Svn<->Git feature, if it does these could be helpful:

> Currently backport in Git (to R18 and R17) is mostly done by cherry picking. This is hand work. I think we should concentrate on tools necessary to backport with Git. Like the convenient scripts we had previously with Svn.
> And if we want to continuously/seriously backport to R16 we need a such tool too, from Git to Svn, using patches maybe. An alternative is to stop supporting R16 and release R17. Sincerely, I'm actually more inclined to this alternative...
