git clone of git-svn tree?

Question

I\'ve got a \'git-svn\' working tree. I\'d like to clone a \"pure\" git repo off this, and then use git push/pull to move changes between the git-svn tree and the git tree,

If you're able to install custom hooks into Subversion repository, consider using SubGit.

SubGit is a server-side solution that automatically synchronizes SVN and Git repositories. In order to install SubGit do the following:

    $ subgit configure $SVN_REPOS
    $ # Adjust $SVN_REPOS/conf/subgit.conf 
    $ #     to specify your branches and tags
    $ # Adjust $SVN_REPOS/conf/authors.txt 
    $ #     to introduce svn author names to their git counterparts
    $ subgit install $SVN_REPOS
    $ ...
    $ INSTALLATION SUCCESSFUL

At this moment SubGit has installed hooks that are triggered by every svn commit and git push. This way SubGit converts any incoming modification.
