Is there anything we can do to minimize the history loss in git? Glancing at the Git history on GitHub for Hadoop HDFS my guess is that the mirror script is just pulling from $prefix/hdfs. I'm not entirely certain how promiscuous it'll look for movements from elsewhere in the svn repo for history outside the root URL. If you're really wanting to make sure to keep the history in Git intact my suggestion would be to setup a temporary svn server locally and test our mirroring scripts against the commands you intend to run.
