I agree that this approach is better, mainly because it keeps the history 
intact.

Additionally, I wonder if it would perhaps be best not to use git-svn for the 
conversion, see http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=6778.  There's some documentation on 
using reposurgeon for this at http://www.catb.org/~esr/reposurgeon/dvcs-migration-guide.html.  I don't know much about it other than what its author 
wrote on his blog, but it was used to convert the Emacs repository to Git (and 
various other projects; the one other I know of is groff).  Maybe reposurgeon 
is overkill here, but I think that it's at least worth considering.
