If I'm reading this right, you're considering any url ending with webkit.git as
a webkit mirror?  I can see what you're trying to do, but seems a bit weak.

You might consider doing what we do in Chrome: make both "git fetch" as well as
"git svn rebase" update the same branch.  When you use the git fetch to advance
the remote branch, the next time you run a git svn command git recognizes that
you've fetched the commits via another mechanism and just fast-forwards its
index.  It's just a minor tweak to how you set up git-svn:
