Still, it seems to me it would make more sense to prefer git since it
allows more flexibility and is more powerful (think offline work,
contributions, full source in repository, easier backporting, patch
transplant, less disk space used)
On the other hand, a git client can work with a svn server. The reverse
is not true. Always two sides to a coin ;)
Yes, but you can't use (easily) an incomplete repo like we use for our
packages in SVN, with git to easily do builds, edit patches etc.
So my point is that using SVN for a package kills the distributed
model that git svn would offer since you still need to do some
non-trivial hacking to make bulds, patches, anyhting else that is
facilitated by svn-buildpackage.
