The main issue is that there tend to be errors that wouldn't
happen without the extra layer between Git and SVN.  The two
are out of sync by minutes (I don't know exactly how many but
it seems like at least 10), so clearing these things up takes
time.  Some (I'd say most) of the errors I've seen out of
Git-svn are also not completely intuitive so it's not always
clear what or where the problem is.

So I'd like to see if there's something that can be done to
move the migration forward.
