The svn repo sticks around, and we just switch it to read-only (file an
INFRA ticket when ready for that).

Yes. The Logging community can run svn2git and tweak its operation until
you have everything you want in the resulting (local) git repository. Once

git-wip repository. (you may want to have INFRA disable commit emails
during that push)
