Hi Gregory,
Thanks for doing this!

Just curious, why did you use --no-metadata? I did a personal git svn clone of 
gui a while ago, did not specify --no-metadata, and every git commit has the 
svn revision recorded in it.

e.g., I can grep for a given commit like this:

new-host-2:gui-git-trunk ericw$ git log --grep=trunk@34124
commit f1ff5609ca123a7f6adf59d5c06bd693ebe58850
Author: fredkiefer <fredkiefer@72102866-910b-0410-8b05-ffd578937521>
Date:   Sat Nov 5 17:45:09 2011 +0000

    Add decoding of class IBInitialTabViewItemAttribute.
    
    
    git-svn-id: svn+ssh://svn.gna.org/svn/gnustep/libs/gui/trunk@34124 
72102866-910b-0410-8b05-ffd578937521


I'd be leery of having ~100k branches/tags if a tag were made for every svn 
revision.
