Yes, but we'll most probably drop SVN rsn, possibly after a short period of supporting both; and not stripping the cruft in the conversion means we carry this with us until eternity. Besides, who is going to distribute the script, inform users about its availability?

What we have now suffices for our ooo-build conversion. If you do not find it useful, more power/less code to you. Let others search the archives and/or patch git-svn themselves, if indeed there are any.
