let's put it like this: i hope to keep future maintainance of the
checkouts at a bare minimum.

there are still a few things left undone (see [1]), which need fixing
(even without future SVN commit).

since there are not so many svn commits these days, i think it should be
easy enough to replay any future commits on top of the git-repositories
(so all SHAs stay the same).
