This is not exactly correct as you can fake author if you have the right
to change the svn:author property (or what is its name?), but by default
this is not allowed to anyone, and git-svn does not support this method
anyway.

Yes, it works. And it is very useful especially you are going eventually
convert your SVN repository in Git (so all authorship information will
be retain). Probably, I should have mentioned this possibility.
