I think all of that is pretty much my view (including the intense dislike
of the branching approach, as I have ad nauseum'd), and reflects the major
value I feel I've gotten out of wrapping my access to the SP's repos with
git svn.

And that's worked *mostly* fine with no need to convert the projects to
git. And I think git svn is better now than it was when I started.

I started trying to branch all over, and then I gave up and just used the
local commits to better manage my work. I did also try and do some
"collapsing" of commits to limit the impact on svn logs, but wasn't as
successful at it when I didn't branch and merge, so didn't get very far
with it, but know it's possible.
