Hi Ray!

There was an email thread about how to work with git-svn and the llvm
repository just a couple days ago:

http://groups.google.com/group/llvm-dev/browse_thread/thread/ec1422325054773f/76f76695f5c0c7df

It recommended doing this:

    git clone git://github.com/earl/llvm-mirror.git llvm
    cd llvm
    git config --add remote.origin.fetch '+refs/remotes/*:refs/remotes/*'
    git fetch
    git svn init https://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/llvm/trunk
    git svn rebase --local
