in case of ASF though i found that git svn for some reason checks out commit history with commit md5 which are different than those propagated to github (and i guess git.apache.org). So commit from other branches (merged to git-mirrored trunks) cannot be merge-squashed to git-svn branch because they fail to establish base version correctly and try to reply a lot more history they actually should.
i guess i have to revert to just doing dirrect patch application. git diff -R MAHOUT-??? | patch -p1 it's a bit of a shame.
