Working for anyone?  Not working for me, and just wondered if it was me or a
known thing.  Maybe I'm just holding my mouth wrong, and yes, I have SVN::Core
installed.  If anyone wants details, I can provide.

I think I tried and gave up on it a month or two ago, but can't
remember the details. Fink's SVN::Core is too old, and having all the
SVN toolchain is a pain. What is the problem?

BTW, getting git-svnimport to work normally takes me quite a few tries
with different options, so OSX may be perfectly innocent this time...

Well, is there some combination of things that will give me what
http://svn.perl.org/perl6/doc does?  Maybe it just resists all attempts. :)

Could you try http://www.wingding.demon.nl/git-svnconvert.rb on
MacOSX? This one doesn't need SVN::Core, and I'm curious on what to
change for MacOSX.

By default it imports all branches it can find (see in file itself):

...
$branch_dirs = %q{
  /branches/*
  /trunk
}
...

If your layout is different (for example, like
http://svn.perl.org/perl6 where every subdir is a collection of
branches itself), use something like:

...
$branch_dirs = %q{
  */branches/*
  */trunk
}
...
