[http://john.albin.net/git/convert-subversion-to-git]
Since, we have gained lot of new knowledge about svn-git import, lets redo
this. John has a well documented conversion procedure defined. If this

required.

Since now author mapping sounds complete, we can update it to
https://github.com/pycURL/pycURL

git-svn makes all of Subversions tags into very-short branches in Git of
the form “tags/name”. You haveto convert all those branches into actual Git
tags.
