Ram-

First, congratulations on making it through GSoC.  I've been avidly following your progress since our off-list discussion at the beginning of the summer, and I'm excited to watch the work continue.

So being selfish, what I care about is an improved method for converting SVN repos to git repos once and never going back.  It sounds to me like the major hurdles remaining there are getting svn-fe to handle dumpfile v3 and handling branches/tags.  Is that correct?

Thanks, and keep up the good work!
