Hi Jim, Git has a similar feature called submodules. See: http://git-scm.com/book/en/Git-Tools-Submodules
But honestly it should not be to much trouble to just script a few git checkouts in your build process would it? I find SVN to be too slow for everyday use. Being able to be able to fully use all the SCM features even when offline is also a very bonus.
