Hi Jonathan,

I wrote a small introduction and created an entry for git-remote-svn
in the wiki [1]. Two minor concerns:
1. The student will have to work very closely with us, and pick up a
   lot of scattered WIP patches. I hope he doesn't get confused
   between what's merged and what's in-progress.
2. The project isn't as de-coupled as we'd ideally like. The student
   has to learn about the new fast-import features, and the
   information contained in an SVN replay dumpstream before diving in.

Other than these, I think most of the pending work is in the mapper.

This is an interesting project that I'd also thought about: it might
get tangled up along with the Sequencer project though. Should we put
up this project on the wiki nevertheless?

p.s- Sorry about the late reply; I wasn't in station.
