This using Git, Mercurial or Bazaar as client to Subversion (via

interesting but is ultimately not a good solution unless the central
repository has to be Subversion and there is no other choice. Bazaar is
able to (more or less seamlessly include a Subversion repository as a
peer in a DVCS branch group. Mercurial and Git do not provide this but
can only be used easily as personal clients.
Best best is just to take the conversion hit and switch to Git,
Mercurial or Bazaar. Doing this also finds all the errors and hacks in
the Subversion repository!
I completely agree. But the intermediate hg/git+svn solution can be
handy for getting in touch with hg/git; and eventually starting to
persuade a customer who's not convinced yet to get rid of subversion to
start trying hg/git.
