I think the main problem is that Norber's copy is in GIT format so  
that even if it contains full metadata and history
I do not know if it is possible to convert it back to SVN format in a  
straighforward way.
Maybe a viable solution is to restore the SVN april backup present at  
Savannah and replay the last changes according to the GIT repository.

Other possibility is to decide to switch to GIT.
