Similar for me. git in combination with svn works fine for all my needs.
I really don't need more. svn in this setting actually behaves like a
linear git repository, you just use different commands to pull/push.

And this is something I would like to keep, even if the master switches
to hg.

And the one thing that makes an 'official' git or hg repository 
interesting, providing a platform to publish individual developer trees
from a single location is currently not available on google code.

But at least it's priority is high so it might be resolved in a 
reasonable amount of time.

Is there anything on your side that would be easier to handle with
a distributed repository like git or hg ?

kind regards,
