FYI, I did same for clang here:
https://github.com/spurious/clang-mirror
(this repository is diverged to official one
because it includes some old history which official
git-mirror had omitted)

It is not a real problem. We can git-rebase beyond two diverged repository.
1. add preferred git-mirrors as remote and fetch, checkout preferred one.
2. (Branch, work on it, commit)
3. git rebase --onto official-llvm-git-mirror/master my-own-mirror/master..HEAD
4. git svn dcommit
will work. (This assumes the branch "my-own-mirror/master" and
"official-llvm-git-mirror/master"
point _same_ SVN revision.)

(Please refer git-rebase(1) "recovering from upstream rebase"/"hard
case" for more.)


But, of course, I also encourage llvm people to create a 2.9 branch in
official git mirror...
