What I don't understand is what advantage we gain from

Speed. Performing git clones of svn repositories is extremely painful

Ah, that makes sense. When people talked about "speed" in the IRC
discussion it really didn't make sense, as svn and git are about
equivalent in day-to-day usage terms. But the git-svn link being slow I
can see.
I know we can make use of various mirrors for this, and I'd be fine
with that as long as there's one that has something of an "officially
sanctioned" designation and support. So far I haven't seen that for
Parrot (but perhaps I'm simply out of date here).
There isn't one at the moment. That could be a reasonable compromise, or
a reasonable stage in a larger migration plan.
