This helps create a new git repo from an existing svn repo. It uses git-svn to create a hybrid of your svn repo, then it creates a clean repo at REPONAME. It should maintain your history for your branch. I've setup the framework so that you can add more branches, but I never implemented the logic because we didn't need it. It should be extensibl…
