git-svn is a simple conduit for changesets between a single Subversion
branch and git. It is not to be confused with gitlink:git-svnimport[1].
They were designed with very different goals in mind.

git-svn was originally designed for an individual developer who wants a
bidirectional flow of changesets between a single branch in Subversion
and an arbitrary number of branches in git. git-svnimport is designed
for read-only operation on repositories that match a particular layout
(albeit the recommended one by SVN developers).
and an arbitrary number of branches in git. Since its inception,
git-svn has gained the ability to track multiple branches in a manner
similar to git-svnimport; but it cannot (yet) automatically detect new
branches and tags like git-svnimport does.
For importing svn, git-svnimport is potentially more powerful when
operating on repositories organized under the recommended
trunk/branch/tags structure, and should be faster, too.
git-svn mostly ignores the very limited view of branching that
Subversion has. This allows git-svn to be much easier to use,
especially on repositories that are not organized in a manner that
git-svnimport is designed for.
git-svn is especially useful when it comes to tracking repositories
not organized in the way Subversion developers recommend (trunk,
branches, tags directories).
