Lack of non-command line tool on Windows, I think. TortoiseSVN is  
pretty good and well-tested. My impression is that while git can be  
made to work on Windows, it'd be another obstacle to people  
contributing.

On the other hand, there seem to be integration options aplenty. I  
suspect we'll end up with either an 'SVN' primary, with git access,  
or, more likely, a git primary code repo, and the git-svn proxy  
allowing people who don't wish to use git for whatever reason to  
continue using SVN. Whether that's true for the data repository is  
another question.

I guess the interesting area of research would be to discover if  
there's any particular advantages / disadvantages to git-proxying-svn  
or svn-proxying-git.
