I've added a big bold notice to the top of the wiki page:
The information on this page refers to the git-svn mirror WHICH HAS
BEEN RETIRED. While some tips here may still be useful (like the
convenient git aliases) do not follow these steps to use the new Git
repository (which is not a mirror, so obviously this page isn't
talking about it!)
