Not yet.

Note, I'd think that merging the two histories together would result in a more seamless transition from the svn history to the git history rather than having two disjoint histories.

There's not much advantage of having a seamless transition at this stage, so having a clean history for the repo is probably more useful in the long run.

The common courtesy in git is to do only fast-forward commits on public branches, hence my comment. Obviously, with good enough reasons, you can always decide to not do this.
