I can't use git-svn to pull because we use svn on our end.  One can't do
this:

(Upstream) svn <--> git-svn <--> git <--> git-svn <--> svn (Downstream)

because the revisions in the two svn repositories don't have anything to
do with each other.

Actually, I am mostly interesed in git because it makes merging in
upstream code dead simple.  Right now I've implemented a couple of
downright scary scripts to hack a ditributed SCM module on top of
Subversion.  It's really about as far away from "fun" as one can get.

It would be even better if LLVM had a git mirror that could push changes
to svn as well but let's do things one step at a time.  :)
