Hello Everyone,

In light of company decisions that are yet to be known, we may in the future be stuck using svn. My team and I really want to experiment with Git, but one of the concerns that my supervisor brought up was that in the future we want to be sure that we can relatively painlessly bring the history into svn if required. Obviously, it's expected that we would loose the local branching history, but we would want at least the published information to be sucked back into svn without change, if that's possible.

I figured that someone would have to have done this before since git-svn is so magical. However, I thought I'd ask.

What's the story?
