Oh, lord, top-posting. I just ran into a long rant about this on another list.
One subtle booby trap that I *just* found out about, if you do
something like this to internally "branch" your work and then delete
the original material as part of a "how do I move this material to a
better location in the source tree", rather than doing an "svn move",
you break git-svn history of that internal "branch". Personally, I'm
not put out by it: I see git-svn as a friendly portal for distributed
work, not a primary access to subversion repository history, but it
was profoundly irksome to people who believe that sacrosanct history
is one of the whole points of a repository history, and I can
understand that view.
