I provide a first feedback: the conversion didn't supply the svn
metadata needed to link back git commits to svn revision (this is the
default behavior in svn2git, contrary to git-svn). I'm going to
rebuild the repository, together with a couple of edits.

I will inform you when the procedure is done.

Cheers,
Francesco
