Ok, I've already mentioned it but here's my main suggestion: Git diff format ----------------- svn {diff,patch} should be able to use the git diff format. That would allow us to use patches for tree and mode changes. It should be (According to a statement by Augie Fackler in notes/svnpatch/svnpatch-git.txt) possible to our own hunk types to this format and thereby allowing us to transfer property modifications. After that, it gets harder. I don't have the neccessary experience to come up with more things...
