Yeah, except I probably want to use upstream git rather than just
gem2deb. Makes cherry-picking from upstream easier if my tree is based
on their tree.
It would then, theoretically, be possible to use git-svn and graft the
bits of the svn tree onto the git tree, but it's probably not worth the
effort. Less work to just drop the current packaging on top and then
drop the gem2deb based packaging in instead of that.
Does that make sense?

That makes sense too.
