It should work just fine. I think that is what Mate(j has done for 
another git server.

But there are two things regarding such an import.
1) The layout follows that of SVN rather than GIT. For example, you'd 
have trunk rather than master and the tags would be branches rather than 
GIT tags. Not a big deal for either but it is easy to cleanup.

2) The size of the checkout will be large due to the jars and other 
binaries. We can remove them, but it really needs to be done before 
anyone uses it to do work. I've had a few translators object to the 
checkout size in SVN just to get the resources to translate. By removing 
these artifacts and suggesting --depth, their problem might be solved.

Right now, I'm trying to get the build to work without them in source 
code control. (Thus the ivy work for JS-104).
