Or I was lucky. This is how I did it:

  // in an empty directory...
  git-svn init https://freemarker.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/freemarker/branches/2.4 --no-metadata
  git-config svn.authorsfile ../authors.txt
  git-svn fetch

Then `git clone`-d to another directory, just to get rid of all the
SVN mess. Then pushed the clone to github.

Sure, whatever fits. It's not like we have to organize dozens of
developers and several commits per day...

Anyway... nothing stops you anymore from working on FreeMarker during
commuting! <-; So as of 2.4, I think the bug list and RFE list should
be checked for entires whose fixing is not entirely BC (only, like 99%
that) or just sounds too risky. This will be a seldom recurring
opportunity to put them in. Of course, your priority should be all the
JSP stuff (then maybe BeansWrapper). After all, it's mostly the
integration related stuff that will break backward compatibility here.
