I work across a number of dev servers all using the same single subversion repo and dev servers are semi-regularly rebuilt. I'd like to check out the subversion repo once on a 'stable' server and then git clone it to all the dev servers to speed up creating a new dev server (and reduce disk space), but also be able to pull any new subversion commits and also push new commits back.

For anyone else looking to do this I found some details on the wiki at: http://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/GitFaq#How_do_I_mirror_a_SVN_repository_to_git.3F - the wiki was being moved when i first asked so I didn't find it then - and it appears to be struggling now...
