One thing to note: this will probably work a lot more smoothly if you keep master’s history linear, ie rebase other branches onto master before merging them in, so merges into master are always simple fast-forwards.

Vítor, you’re right. In our case we just needed to back the git repo up to subversion, with no-one committing directly to the svn repo.

Thanks for your tips. But I have a question: what if there is a conflict when you run git pull origin master with cron? You could not do git svn dcommit, then. Right? Or it isn’t possible?

Thanks for the article, I used this with some modifications to get my svn mirrors. I had slightly different starting circumstances, plus some merge issues that I worked out -- but you got me on the right track. I cited this article in my post here.
