        I left out one possibly important piece of information: My initial 'git 
svn fetch' used '-r' to "cauterize" the history, both because there is a lot of 
it (almost 12 years) and because the repository was reorganized significantly 
after a cvs -> svn migration.  The first revision I have is r83875:

$ git log --max-parents=0 --all --date-order | tail -n 1
    git-svn-id: svn://dev.carnegielearning.com/trunk@83875 
752fcc94-cd22-0410-baa8-ef54ac2c6973


        So to answer Enrico's question: Prior to the initial revision that was 
fetched into git, these files did live in a different top-level directory.  
However it's not one that's matched by the 'ignore-paths' regex.  Here's one 
example:

$ svn log -v 
svn://dev/branches/localization-merge/buildprocess/antfiles/dmg.xml | grep 
/dmg.xml | uniq -c
      9    M /branches/localization-merge/buildprocess/antfiles/dmg.xml
     35    M /trunk/buildprocess/antfiles/dmg.xml
      1    A /trunk/buildprocess/antfiles/dmg.xml (from 
/trunk/buildprocess/assemble-support/dmg.xml:48305)
      1    D /trunk/buildprocess/assemble-support/dmg.xml
     57    M /trunk/assemble-support/dmg.xml
      1    A /trunk/assemble-support/dmg.xml


Here are the svn revisions that explain the transition from 'assemble-support' 
to 'buildprocess/assemble-support', just after the cvs -> svn migration.
