I want to set up a gateway between subversion and git, which would keep the
master synchonized with subversion trunk, both ways, and allow working with
any additional branches independent of subversion. For users it should behave
as any other shared git repository accessed by push and pull. And it needs to
be automatic.

Did anybody try to set up something like this?

It is a pity that "Native SVN support in git" project at Google Summer of
Code 2010 (https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SoC2010Projects) turned
out to be too much for one summer; though people are working on it.  It
would be perfect for this situation.

I am not actually sure it would. What I want is that for people who already
switch to git may immediately stop caring about subversion. From their point
of view, it shouldn't be there.

So while I'm sure the native SVN support will solve the quirks and bugs of
git-svn, it will not do away with need for the gateway repository that will
somehow synchronize itself with subversion.

Well, I think that native SVN support would allow to treat subversion
repository as one of repositories in the network of repositories.  Those
repositories could be set in that pushing to central git repository pushes
also to subversion repository, and like central git repository fetches
from leaf repositories, it would fetch from subversion repository.
