Coreboot is not using git, it uses svn. Yet, i am working with git on 
the coreboot repos.

Git-svn does work quite well. Check it out, you'll notice that it suits 
most of your needs.

But sadly, some things are not supported by svn, like separate 
author/commiter tracking and such, so that information gets lost 
completely.
