Actually, I wasn't so much talking about the time required as the fact that git-svnimport expects a very specific directory format, and KDE, since it was migrated from CVS doesn't follow it, not to mention, I'm writing my tools for the purpose of tracking single projects (i.e. Kopete which is part of KDE project).

While that is an admirable goal, unless you can point me to something that will allow you to actually commit back to SVN without a working copy, it defeats the purpose of my tools which is basically to use to git for the purpose of holding intermediate development before sending it into SVN as a final commit. That, and being able to use git tools which speak to me on a level far greater than SVN tools. ;)

Sure, you can actually pick up the current development straight from git://linuxfood.net/pub/git/kosek.git
