Hi,

I recently migrated from svn to git as well, but I've abandoned the svn
server altogether.
What I noticed is that the merges do not show up properly when you look at
the svn repo with git. Obviously because svn doesn't track that information.
I assume that such a problem would continue if you continued using the svn
server.
Personally, i would recommend migrating to git altogether, it isn't actually
that difficult. The only issue I had was fixing up the merges.
Sorry I can't be of more help, I'm just letting you know what issues I faced
with svn.

Good luck,
Tim.
