Rails project from svn to git WITHOUT history

This is not the best place to ask, but I figure another railer may
have run into this situation:

I’m moving a svn repo to git.

I DONT want to push the the svn history upstream.

Without the negativity: I want the git repo to be clueless about the
pre-git history.

Anyone else run into a solution for this?

It’s for a project I’m taking open source and I’d like a blankish
slate.
