Some questions about the github mirror of the Parrot subversion repo

Howdy,

I have been working on a github mirror of the Parrot subversion repo
[0], and here are some questions that I have:

1) How do we want to deal with tags? Subversion "tags" are actually
just branches. Should I turn all subversion tags in git branches?
I have been thinking of putting them into a "namespace", purely for
organizational reasons, so each subversion tag would become a branch
named something like

tags/RELEASE_X_Y_Z

in git.

2) I could also create proper git tags for each subversion tag. Would
this be preferred? Does anybody actually want subversion tags to be
branches?

I am sure I will have more questions, any feedback I can get about
these questions, as well as other requests about our github mirror,
would be greatly appreciated!
