if one clones the svn repository, attach it to the git repo, then
synchronization would be possible i gess. checkout (once):
  git svn clone https://gar.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/gar/csw/mgar/gar/v2 gar
  cd gar
  git remote add origin git at github.com:opencsw/gar.git

do changes and commit (regular) :
  <changes>
  git push
  git svn dcommit
