4. If it is a goal to support long-term tracking of a Subversion
repository, then it would be good to add a config option to turn on this
feature permanently for a git-svn repository, so that the user doesn't
have to enter the extra options with each command invocation.

Command-line options should be automatically converted into config file
options inside git svn.  We should however discourage this from getting
mixed...

I'm not sure what you mean by this.  Do you mean that options
shouldn't be settable both on the command line and the config file?  I
think this situation already exists with the --no-metadata option.

6. Documentation patches would also be required.

Agreed, along with automated test cases.

No problem.  Might take a while, though.  I haven't looked at the test
case system yet.
