So to avoid thread hijacking, starting a new one.
I did some tests today and took sunrise overlay as testing ground.
It has roughly 2850 revisions. As a blog recommended, I fetched the raw
repo first to do the initial conversion to git.
Then all I did was a
git-svn init file:///home/jokey/sunrise-svn && git-svn fetch
It took 5 minutes and 12 secs for me on a not-so fast box. Then I had a
git repo that could do all the branching, file merging and stuff and it
sends it back to repo nicely. Even a reversion of a commit worked perfectly.
git log gave this output:
commit a8c35b8efe130fca7e2c3bb0d589a2d251f381c3

Removing old turl files in favor of surl

So judging from this, I'd say we could use advantages of both. Those who
wish git can go for it (the git repo, as pointed out on this list, can
initially be fetched via rsync or tarballs or whatever comes in handy)
and those who dislike git can just go with svn and be happy with it.
