svnimport is for one-off transformation, i.e. for moving from Subversion
to Git.  Using git-svn is the way to have Git as your Subversion client
-- though you have to remember that it always rebases so your repository
cannot be a peer in a Git repository group, it is only a Subversion
client.  The same applies for Mercurial but not for Bazaar, which can
treat the Subversion repository in a Bazaar branch poeer group.  There
are ways of bridging in Git and Mercurial, but it gets painful.
