We've done both in the past. It's trivial to fix with
git filter-branch, but it does mean modifying history
vs. what is in SVN, and that strikes me as odd.

But when migrating Phonon's git repositories from
Gitorious to git.kde.org we had to break history any-
way due to some metadata corruption left from a prob-
lem with svn2git back then, so I used the opportunity
to fix the audit failures too ...

Ulimately I'd lean toward the more common choice of
skipping the filename audit during the initial push
since it leaves the SVN history intact as-is.
