Reasons for doing this aside, is there a reasonable way to convert an entire git repository to subversion?
I can find only tons on information on migrating from subversion to git, and exchanging changesets between the two, but not for doing a simple conversion of the entire git repository to svn.
The general problem with doing conversions this direction is that Git repositories can contain more than just a linear history of revisions, as Subversion would expect. Multiple ancestries with divergent histories and frequent merge commits are all possible, which can’t be easily represented in a Subversion repository.
For simple cases where you do have a linear history in your Git repository, you can use
git-svn dcommitto push the lot up to an otherwise empty Subversion repository.
