I didn't use svn2git, I should look into doing that.
It’s not a criticism - git svn and svn2git (which uses git svn, but also adds some stuff) are intended for different purposes. git svn is intended to allow people who prefer to use git to work with an upstream that uses svn. It’s a good way of keeping a git mirror of an svn repo that allows two-way syncing, but is intentionally non-invasive (GitHub, by the way, provides this in reverse, allowing you to do an svn co of a ‘git’ repo). svn2git is intended for projects migrating from svn to git, without the intention of maintaining the svn repo as the live and authoritative upstream.
