I should probably point out that there have been some changes before we 
migrated to SVN after the 1.0.6p1 release, which the SVN server does not 
have. So, completely relying on automated tools might miss out a few 
(likely trivial) changes.

If you would like to take "help" from existing tools that manage git and 
SVN, there is a utility called git-svn which allows you to use a GIT 
client with an SVN server (like at Argonne). But I'm not sure if it 
supports merging an existing git code base with git-svn code, but you 
can try.
