Yes, git patches can be applied to an SVN repository. Assuming we only want
to merge the pull request on one branch (trunk) you could follow these
steps:
git pull git://github.com/<username>/geoserver.git <branch> --squash
# testing, code review
git commit
git svn dcommit
> git push
GitHub normally recognizes when a commit has been merged, but this changes
the commit message to include the SVN revision number so I think we'd have
to manually close the pull request. It might also make some trouble (ie, a
merge conflict if he tries to merge the official branch back onto his
experimental one) but we could mitigate that with documentation.
