It's useful for offline change tracking and such, even if the official
packaging repository doesn't use it. (I'd still prefer to stay with
SVN, unless FreeBSD switch to Git and can demonstrate it working well).
Using Git on top of checked-out CVS trees seems to be a popular
workflow. It sounds like the best of both worlds; Git for offline and
distributed working, and a more traditional linear VCS like SVN for the
master repository.
Having a single 'official' git-svn repository like Guillem's makes it
easier for Git users to share things with each other,
