Thanks for the explanation (and thanks to Rutger as well for the
reply!).

I managed to get git-svn fetch to work by specifying an author file
with -A.

I'm a bit confused about why I have to do this.  Is there a way around
this?  Or perhaps a way to force a bogus email address based on svn
user name?

[ok, maybe I'm less confused than I'm letting on: the email
requirement is, I think, because that's what suits the main git
"customers".  If I was using git for a project's primary SCM, I would
have no problem with this.  In fact, we started using email addresses
as user names in svn a long time ago.  

But it seems to me that (1) using git to track a project that uses a
less featureful SCM is way cool, and (2) having to manually muck with
an authors file is kinda uncool.]

Hope it heals quickly!
