[gentoo-user] Converting subversion to git

[gentoo-user] Converting subversion to git

[felix]

I want to use git on a subversion repository.  I don't care, right
now, if it is two way; I will be happy if I can do a one time convert
and work off that for the time being.

I have installed git, but the recommended git-svn program is perl and
requires SVN::Core.  Downloading Alien::SVN has an interesting note:

    It comes with a copy of Subversion 1.4.6 which it will compile but
    only installs the Perl and Subversion libraries. The subversion
    binaries will not be installed.

What exactly does this mean?  It sounds troublesome -- I can't
overwrite existing Subversion libraries.  Additional Perl libraries
are fine.  Does anyone with experience converting subversion to git
know what is going on here, or if there are alternatie methods?
