I tried using the possible more direct svnrdump command (to talk to the github subversion bridge directly) and failed. It seems the github bridge doesn't support the svn webdav commands svn 1.7 uses. So I tried Beman's suggested commands..

1.5) Create an authors mapping file that has lines to match your github account:
echo "grafik = Rene Rivera <grafikrobot@gmail.com>" > github-authors.txt
2) From the command line, in a temporary directory:
git svn clone https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/endian
I added "-Agithub-authors.txt":
git svn clone -Agithub-authors.txt https://svn.boost.org/svn/boost/sandbox/boost/predef
I'm not recommending -A. It doesn't seem very robust.
IMO you really do want author translation when using git-svn. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing Software Development Training http://www.boostpro.com Clang/LLVM/EDG Compilers C++ Boost
