There's also images, caches...
Seems easier to upgrade a svn checkout to a git one:

# You had long ago done:
svn co http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/trunk/phase3/
cd phase3
echo '<?php /* Some configuration */' > LocalSettings.php

# Now you do in phase3:

git clone --no-checkout --bare --depth=1
https://github.com/mediawiki/mediawiki-trunk-phase3.git .git
git config --unset core.bare
git reset


Due to svn:keywords expansion you will end with 86 modified files... :(
