Do you think that the code can be sane again if we use git-svn as a
base? Wouldn't it be better to start from scratch and use git-svn only
as a reference as to how to interact with svn?

Perhaps then it would indeed be better to just work with the C
bindings, if they are equally painful.

Do you have any idea how we are wrt licensing issues? II[U|R]C the svn
bindings are APLv2 licensed which would be problematic if we try to
use it in git?
