Thanks to uqs@'s report[1] a fix to git-fast-import is now in
progress. It will make its way into a new git port/package in due
course.

There is another issue currently foiling attempts at a reproducible
svn2git conversion: the internal, master SVN repository and the public
mirrors differ. I've found one commit with different metadata (and am
not sure if there are other differences). I've opened PR 215968[2] for
this.
