Vinubalaji, You should be able to track both of the svn repositories as different git-svn remotes. You can then move patches between them with git-format-patch and git-apply (or git-cherry-pick). git-merge-base calculations won't work when operating like this - so git-merge won't work - however the simple merge base token used by SVK to track this would be easy to implement using git-tag and git-update-ref, so you could get yourself something as useful as svk smerge (which is really just mass cherry picking, using a token to remember what it last picked). A better implementation would be to allow git-svn to spot that the repositories are tracking the same history and make sure they end up with the same commits, then git-merge could work. However, you are in a relatively obscure use case, most projects wouldn't do this. Note also that the merge tickets SVK would use are not portable between different SVK mirrors so the merge information is not retrievable for anyone other than the person who did the merge. Use "svn pg svk:merge svn://svn.paris.fr/" if you don't believe me... the UUID and revision numbers in the property will not refer to revisions in svn://svn.paris.fr/ but to the (private) SVN repository in the SVK depot.
