I have made a first stab at it (following
https://wiki.debian.org/de/Alioth/Git#Convert_a_SVN_Alioth_repository_to_Git)
and it looks quite good

	https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-ntp/pkg-ntp.git/

a few recent tags (at least) are missing, but they are missing in the
SVN repo as well.

Could you please have a look at the repo? gbp buildpackage does not work
yet, but I think this is unrelated

# move the administrator programs from /usr/bin to /usr/sbin
for file in ntpdate ntp-wait ntpd ntptime ntp-keygen; do \
        mv debian/tmp/usr/bin/$file debian/tmp/usr/sbin/$file || exit; \
done
mv: cannot stat 'debian/tmp/usr/bin/ntpdate': No such file or directory
debian/rules:50: recipe for target 'install' failed

but it is already installed into usr/sbin before

make[5]: Entering directory '/<<BUILDDIR>>/ntp-4.2.8p9+dfsg/ntpdate'
 /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/<<BUILDDIR>>/ntp-4.2.8p9+dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/sbin'
  /bin/bash ../libtool   --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c ntpdate
'/<<BUILDDIR>>/ntp-4.2.8p9+dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/sbin'
libtool: install: /usr/bin/install -c ntpdate
/<<BUILDDIR>>/ntp-4.2.8p9+dfsg/debian/tmp/usr/sbin/ntpdate

Will check what could be causing this.
