I have a work-in-progress state up to r140000 pushed at my github account
[1] (see all repos with a macports- prefix). Feel free to go through that
and check whether anything is missing that you would need.

I took the liberty of shuffling some things around (e.g. I moved the
Pallet code into a separate repository).

I used svn2git from the KDE project, with a patch to fix an issue with
SVN 1.9. My source is at [2]. The scripts and rules I used to convert
are available at [3]. Those already include a complete authors file.

What would still need to be done:
 - Clean up tags that were created and deleted by excluding the revisions
   that created and deleted them in the svn2git rules.
 - Check that the history is nice and clean, especially when it comes to
   merges in repositories that were in the same repo in SVN, but no longer
   are after the conversion.
 - Automate this to a point where it will continuously mirror the SVN.
