Hi Michael, Just to add to what Yihui suggested, I have used Cygwin on all my Windows machines to create a Linux environment for years. It is stable and allows for many features. You can easily get git, svn, and ruby --- I'm not sure about rubygems. Anyway, with a bit of work, I suspect you could use Cygwin to get an environment on Windows that would allow you to run svn2git to handle the conversions. If you're willing to have a bit of a mess or drop some history, git svn will work nicely too.
