Yes, it's a copy - a locally git manager repository. Your SubVersion
repository is untouched, and still works as normal.

My recommendation to use 'git svn' is ONLY to give you a chance to
REVIEW git. It was not meant as a permanent solution. Use 'git svn'
for a couple of weeks to decide if you like it. Git will happily push
(commit) changes to you existing SubVersion repository. So other users
of your SubVersion repository will not even know you are using git.
This is a very nice way to test git and see if you like it or not -
before actually converting any SubVersion repositories permanently to
git repositories.

No, there is NO double work. 'git svn' will communicate
(checkout/commit) changes to/from your SubVersion repository.
eg:
git svn dcommit
This will push your local commits (commits that were only in your
local git repository) to the remote SubVersion repository.
To fetch new changes from your SubVersion repository:
git svn rebase
For further help run:
git help svn

Yes, git comes standard with man pages (under *nix/Linux) and with
HTML pages under Windows (because windows obvious can't display man
pages).
To get help, the command is simple:
git help <command>
eg:
git help svn
git help git
git help commit
git help push
etc....
