Actually, that is just as easy with SVN as with Git. The real question is why 
you would want to have your repository somewhere where the rest of the team can 
not access it.

Sounds like a lot of work. I have multiple SVN repositories in three different 
geographic locations that synchronize automagically. I just commit to the 
public one and that is automagically synchronized to the rest. No need for 
manual backups and copying to different locations.

I think the real benefits in using Git are in the quality of its revision 
tracking across branches and merges. It is much easier to figure out where line 
X in file Y originated then in SVN. Not really an issue for my current 
workflows though since we have a branching and merging policy that is pretty 
strict.
