I never made it too far with SVK, due to this issue I never could solve 
(I really should unsubscribe to this list... ;):

http://lists.bestpractical.com/pipermail/svk-users/2007-December/000105.html

I didn't realize that git works with svn repositories now, so I just did 
the >svn-git clone< command against the repository I never could get to 
work with SVK, and lo & behold, it worked.

A nice post on how to do that here:

I don't mean to troll, because I really /wanted/ SVK to work for me, and 
I liked the idea of having that stuff in perl.  But the fact is it never 
worked, my plea for help never got a response, and the competition 
worked, first try, no hassle (so far, anyhow).

Alas, I'm off to git-land.  Thanks anyhow!
