As for SVN to git, I can't really help there. Two weeks ago I tried to import a subsection of my own SVN repository into a new Git repository using git svn (the git program itself has SVN importing facilities) but the results were not what I was expected - I got the subset of files I wanted, but I still had a commit log showing 13K commits for the entire repo instead of the 4 that this subset had. As it was only four commits I ended up doing individual patches and making use of environment variables to backdate the commits. I haven't yet had the time (or the in truth, the motivation) to look further into SVN to git and so far only use self-hosted git for new projects.
