Hi Niels,

My next developer-tools project is going to be an hg<->svn bridge. I
hope to deliver a proof-of-concept soon (which would then also be
useful for a git<->svn bridge). The difference from hgsvn and
hgsubversion is that it is all done server-side, meaning the end user
does not have to bother with the logistics that it all involves.

Is there really a need to do this for git?

git-svn supposedly works fine in both directions. You can work and test on a real git branch and when things are ready rebase it onto an SVN branch (trunk) and turn those commits into SVN commits.

For my Mono development I use git just for development and then use `patch -p1 | git format-patch ...` on an svn working copy for checkin, to adapt the commit messages with the legal stuff.

The number of Haiku committers is not that large anyway...
