I'll be traveling a bit, but I'll share how I copied the history from svn->git
https://wiki.debian.org/Alioth/Git#Convert_a_SVN_Alioth_repository_to_Git
And here's how to set up a git repo on the debian servers:

this sounds best for large amount of data

Here's a good tutorial
https://wiki.debian.org/PackagingWithGit
whenever I use "git-import-dsc" or "git-import-org" I pass the
--pristine-tar argument.
When you build using "git-buildpackage" you can then just use the
--git-pristine-tar argument to generate .orig.tar.gz if you haven't
already downloaded them. It's nice to have that ability.
