Quilt would still be used with the packages in SVN, of course.
Regarding the packages in git, I don't see any benefits in having the
whole source code in git and still be using quilt. The idea, from what
I've seen in other teams, would be to be able to implement different
functionalities in different branches, and merge all the ones you want
in the final result. That is something that can not be easily achieved
with quilt, if it can be at all, and thus restricting git to using
quilt and having all the changes in debian/ would lead us to the 1st
option.
