+git-svn is a simple bidirectional conduit for changesets between
+Subversion and git. It is used to develop projects with Git tools,
+but commit changes to a Subversion repository. It can also be used to
+convert a Subversion repository to a Git repository. It should not to

+Git conversion, but not the other direction.
I don't know if it's such a good idea to mention git-svnimport at all;
but if you do, please also mention that it's no longer supported. (But
really, since it is no longer supported, I doubt mentioning it is a
good idea.)
