merging two repositories

I've been maintaining a project in git for a while and making use of http://repo.or.cz/w/tfs.git as a public repository. Since I also needed a project site, I set something up at Google Code, which of course, forces you to use subversion. I added the files to subversion, checked them in, then a few weeks later decided I should learn how to use git-svn. So now I have two trees, one pure git using repo.or.cz, and the other made by git-svn against Google' subversion. Is there anyway to merge these two repositories into one? I don't want to lose the http://repo.or.cz/w/tfs.git history, but I don't care about the Google subversion history. I tried moving the .git/svn folder from the git-svn managed repository into the repo.or.cz .git folder, but as I expected, that didn't work. Life's never that easy! Anyway, if anyone knows how to merge these two repos, I would love to hear about it. jr PS. Maybe, a more generalized use case here is a) maintain a git tree for a while b) decide you have to stick code in subversion for others sometime later, but you still want to use git and keep your git history
