What's the attraction of hosting git on Alioth?  I've had one request
to clone from my own public server there, but haven't got around to it.

I suspect Debian team adoption might be self-perpetuating.

Please can you tell me how to get git-svn to do that?

If it's possible, is it a bug for git-svn to depend on libsvn1 via
libsvn-perl?

Thanks - this could be a big help in accessing svn silos.
