So, the scripts don't look as bad as I'd heard.

There's this in rev-check:

svn diff -r $TREV:$3 ./en/$1

Here $TREV is revision the translation is indicated as being current to,
and $3 is I think the current revision of the english document. That
seems no problem:

git diff $TREV..$3 -- ./en/$1


Then in unfuzzy-xml:

svn cat -r $(($REV - 1)) en/$XML

So here we have math on svn revs, but something like this would work:

git checkout $REV^
cat en/$XMl
git checkout master

(A much smaller hammer than git checkout could be used here.)

Despite talk of the manual needing a VCS with ordered revision
numbers, that's the only thing I find that uses such an ordering, 
and git can handle the same thing using ^ as shown.
