We did that inside the OCaml team to migrate our packages from svn to
git, using a (quite hackish) script of mine. See:

  http://wiki.debian.org/Teams/OCamlTaskForce/GitMigration

Among packages owned by pkg-ocaml-maint on alioth, many have been
converted this way (see e.g. ocaml, ocsigen, cduce... there are tens of
them). The script is pkg-ocaml-maint-specific for now, but should be
easily made more generic.
