To answer my question - I think the man page should be updated.

Also, while searching 'git svn speed', I found that a git clone of
mono is available:
http://www.mono-project.com/GitSVN
A shame this page is not referenced my other devel resources on mono's
web site at all... also it uses a real user's account to make the
clone (rather than annonymous svn), so to update the git clone by
git-svn, one needs a real dev account - that is not a problem for the
purpose of sending in patches as the occasional dev.
