 It would be helpful to provide scripts to automate the mirroring of
 SVN repositories to GIT repositories.

 I've done this for PostGIS and put scripts in a private repo here:
 https://git.osgeo.org/_gogs_/postgis/repository-sync-scripts (ask me
 for permissions of you want to see them). The problem with those
 scripts is that they rely on the availability of an SVN username to
 "Real Name <email>" for use in the GIT Author field.

 By providing OSGeo scripts we could make use of an LDAP lookup for
 that, which would simplify things a lot for those who want to move to
 GIT.
