Let me play the devil's advocate here. The GitHub repos are Good Enoughâ„¢ now 
because they work--and they have the benefit of being already published and in 
use (e.g. by me :-). We can always leave the SVN repo up as a read-only archive 
if people want to see the absolutely correct version of history. In fact as I 
understand it we're doing that anyway?

So about what I said before: just tar & gzip up John's local git svn repos, 
unpack them and set up on your server. Should work.

Regards,

Yawar
