That does not work.
Our docmanager infrastructure uses a few distinguishing features of SVN:
E.g. partial checkouts, path-based access control, and revision based
properties.
All of these are weak points with GIT.
And then, we are cautious(*), too. We have been using SVN for a long time,
we know the commands, and the pitfalls. Our build mechanics direct use Perl
and Python bindings of subversion.
Who would want to touch a running system, anyway?
We've identified a few potential benefit of git, though.
But none justifies the effort.
