No, AFAIK you can clone a git repo with 'git clone' and then use git-svn 
for the rest. I use Pavel's LyX repo for history and blaming with qgit 
and that's very very good compared to 'svn log' and 'svn blame', even 
more important, that's fast, incredibly fast!
But I still don't use git-svn for commit...

Quite frankly, and IMHO, if a change to git is wanted, I'd prefer that 
we switch to a git repo altogether. We should declare a git repository 
somewhere *the main repository* and don't force the use of git-svn. If 
some developpers can't switch immediately, I'd suggest that we maintain 
an svn server that is periodically pushed to the git main repo.

Abdel.
