git svn clone --stdlayout --no-metadata -A users.txt svn://example.com/repository/projectname
cd projectname

The command below is supposed to generate users.txt, but it doesn’t work for me.. maybe because perl is missing..
svn log ^/ --xml | grep -P "^<author" | sort -u | \ perl -pe 's/<author>(.*?)<\/author>/$1 = /' > users.txt
