Yes, the initial synchronisation takes 4-5 hours.

There was a break due to my own system issues.

It is possible to have stream data in both directions, from and to svn,
so to push changes back from git and svn. However, I don't do that.
AFAIK, the process is fragile.

The GDAL at github is a simple mirror I synchronise with SVN,
but I don't synchronise it back, from Git to SVN.
