Good choice :)

Interestingly, they seem to go the svn-all-fast-export route.

Also, they need push tracking for pushing through ssh, which is a common
requirement for many large projects. Do we have something to support
that? git-notes comes to my mind.

Their current approach is writing to a single log file (receive-hook).
That may support a linear push history best, but looking up who pushed
what, given "what"?
