I'm working on something that does just that, I haven't gotten to the bidirectional part just yet. (The only reason I didn't use git-svnimport is that it has a /terrible/ time importing from the KDE svn repo. )

My take on the properties, though I like your thoughts on how to handle at least svn:ignore, is to basically just let svn deal with them. I will make a couple tools that will modify them, for interface reasons, but they'll just be wrappers around the svn commands themselves.

At the moment, the tools are written as bash shell scripts with an interface I'm trying to keep as intuitive as cogito (even though I use the core-git tools now.)
