I haven't been successful finding a standalone SVN dump to git-fast-export converter and I don't know how git-svn works. Several descriptions of it claim that once a git clone of the SVN repo is created, it's possible for the clone to sync with the SVN repo. The descriptions also seem to imply the initial clone doesn't require a SVN dump file (but there seems to be a way to remote dump an SVN repo, so I may be wrong). Still, I'm curious if a better import could be made from a SVN dump file. I don't know the limitations of git-fast-export format. Is it worth trying to create a standalone format converter that creates that? (so far, what I've found for writing git-fast-export files look hard to use) Or I could try using libfossil to create a Fossil repo directly. Don't know if I could actually do this. Even though SVN::Dump::Reader is not hard to use, still need to interpret the resulting tree of artifacts and map their meaning to Fossil semantics. And then learning how to use libfossil.
