A git tool to keep a subversion mirror

git-svndump is essentially a wrapper around 'git-svn commit-diff'. It
will work only when it is the sole method of committing to the
Subversion repository.

We could probably just implement this directly in git-svn.  I'll try to
find time to take a closer look at it this weekend or the next if I
don't have time.  If you or anybody else feel comfortable doing more
work in Perl, feel free to go ahead with it.

It is designed to export a linear git branch. However, thanks to the way
'git' handles source code, 'git-svndump' seems to work in other
conditions. For example, when branches are switched or merged.

git-svndump provides a solution when you need to export your source code
in Subversion format (who would need this with git :), but do not want
to have all the shackles that 'git-svn init' puts on your repository.

I'm really not excited about having even more shell scripts in git.
