Welcome ! I cannot see a good raison to make a mirror of the overlay. To work with 2 concurrent versions of the overlay can be source of sync errors, and as one use git and the other svn, it can also be a source of loose of data like the history of the files. Another option would be to shift from svn to git, but in the case of a project like an overlay, I cannot see the advantage of using git. I test all the ebuilds before committing them, and for that, I use a local test overlay. When the ebuild is done, I checkout the devel version of the overlay, I add the new ebuild, I digest the ebuild and I done a commit. After that, I erase the ebuild in my test overlay and try to merge it again. I will be doing the same even if the overlays is shifted over to git, so it will not be a simplification. But I can see a big disadvantage to shift from svn to git: all the history of the files in the overlay will be lost. So I am not for such a move. Now, if you want to do you own git mirror, I will not stop you -:) Ciao, Dominique -- "We have the heroes we deserve."
