Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this would
require that our Git repo mirror some form of an SVN url. Plus our
history has been disconnected so we'd have to do some fancy dancing to
get things back in sync.

So basically, no. But I can't think of a reason that we can't host
both in the Git repo and then write a script that forcibly updates
some random SVN url. Me and Benoit have a very similar setup for
handling all the documentation for Gunicorn (though its based on
GitHub's Pages thing in a branch (but the basic idea is the same).
