I don't want to commit to svn often (tens of commits), and could do
this with svn itself later, without git-svn at all. It is why I don't
want to work with FreeBSD svn repo directly -- I will need many
commits which are "bad", partial, without meaningful message, etc. :)

I'm the only developer (yet), but with two workstations and each
workstation could not see other one (and they both could not be seen
from server with "central" repo -- NAT and corporate firewalls with
application-level proxies) -- so they could "push" and "pull" to
central repository, but not from each other and central repository
could not initiate "pull" from them.

It seems, I need more deep understanding of git model and
limitations. It is much more unobvious compared to Mercurial (hg),
which seems very natural for me :)

Ok, I've redirected it.
