Altho why you would ever want to do so is beyond me. I like having all the previous history. Makes git bisect and git log so much nicer. Plus, if you do a bit of research on git+apache-svn, you'll find references to people pulling/pushing to http://svn.eu.apache.org/, instead of the main server, to reduce the load. This is how I have my git-svn configured.
