This is simply the direct translation of last year's project idea.
This project make significant incremental progess each year.
I'm seeking feedback from all involved on setting the direction.

+Remote helper for Subversion
+------------------------------------
+
+Write a remote helper for Subversion. While a lot of the underlying
+infrastructure work was completed last year, the remote helper itself
+is essentially incomplete. Major work includes:
+
+* Understanding revision mapping and building a revision-commit mapper.
+
+* Working through transport and fast-import related plumbing, changing
+ whatever is necessary.
+
+* Getting an Git-to-SVN converter merged.
+
+* Building the remote helper itself.
+
+Goal: Build a full-featured bi-directional `git-remote-svn` and get it
+ merged into upstream Git.
+Language: C
+See: [A note on SVN history][SVN history], [svnrdump][].
