It has been observed that in most cases - especially long term - git
is more efficient in storing the entire unpacked package with its
entire history than SVN+tarballs would be.
Also, in conjunction with pristine-tar, one can recreate the
byte-for-byte *identical* upstream source tarball of any release, with
a smaller disk usage than storing all the tarballs individually.
Also, having the entire source when working on a package is better
than using the svn-do script.

Good.

They just need to be deleted and make git aware of that change (still
I don't know what you mean by "safely"; otoh, it shouldn't matter).
