FWIW: I have a partially implemented python git-svnserver that speaks the svn:// protocol ... so far I can checkout from a git repos using the svn client, and not much else. It's been on the backburner for a while, but I had recently thought about revisiting it - but getting someone else to do the implementation works too ;) -- Julian --- "It's men like him that give the Y chromosome a bad name."
