Hi!

The github repo isn't official, because there are still some
consistency issues. The consistency problem is: If an repo-copy
from svn to git is done, how can that repo-copy be done a second
time and still keep the same commit ids (in the git repo) ?

That's a good question. There's a small team working on the github
stuff:
