I can do it if the sysadmins let me. I have the disk space and machine power 
to do it. But I don't have a local copy of the Subversion repository.

Besides, for this purpose, I would not recommend git-svn, not even with 
a --no-metadata option. It should be git-svn-fastexport because it is a LOT 
faster. The problem is that the tool is nowhere near ready to import 
branches.
