> git-svn stores metadata in an svn mirror that is hard to reproduce after you do a clone from such a repository. This means that while you can do git pulls, you can't do git svn dcommit, which would be such a nice feature to have. I've tried to do it several times and failed and I know of a few other people that couldn't do it either. 
> A simple solution to this problem would be to expose git repositories using rsync; this would allow folks to mirror the full repository, including svn metadata, and then rebase/ dcommit to their liking.
> I did a proof of concept of this by fetching a mirror of apache lucene reopsitory using wget -m -np, then manually (find -exec rm...) pruning index.html files and converting bare=true to bare=false. Works like a charm.
