Centralized Git-SVN mirror

    For those of us using lots of "git svn clone"s, is any sort of central mirror worth it?

I do almost everything in git these days, so when the code I'm committing to lives in ``svn`` that means ``git-svn``.  The initial ``git svn clone`` can take quite a while, however.  `Using gitify <../grab-bag-of-git-svn-stuff>`_ can help such that you only need to ``git svn clone`` once for each project accross multiple buildouts/branches, but it's maddening knowing that if it were just git, we'd be able to share the same clone across multiple *users*.  So I've been wondering about options for git-svn mirrors for a while now.

I ran across `this video <http://vimeo.com/28762003>`_ on a "Planet ..." feed of some sort recently describing what I've been looking for.  This guy also has a lot of other good `git-svn thoughts <http://www.tfnico.com/presentations/git-and-subversion>`_.  I'm just not sure it's worth it.  I guess it all depends on how quickly people migrate to github or some such natively.  If there's any shared interest, leave a comment or email me.  If there's interest I'll start a thread somewhere.
