That's great Ben!

Also, when Ben and I decided to have Review Board track the Mesos Apache
git clone, we were concerned that the git clones might not track the SVN
repo very closely (i.e. that there might be a big time delay), but this
page (http://www.apache.org/dev/git.html#git-mirrors) says: "These mirrors
contain the full version histories (including all branches and tags) of the
mirrored codebases and are updated in near real time based on the latest
svn commits." so hopefully we don't have to worry about that after all.
