I have never had problems applying git generated patches into a svn working copy

-p1  is typically the default for any diff. It assumes that the diff
was generated one step "backwards" from the files, i.e. it would start
by shindig/resources/... instead of resources/...

The only problem with git-generated patches that I've seen is that the
use of some options (I seem to recall -M or -C to detect moves or
copies) will generate a format richer in informaction that is not
parseable for svn (or for any patch tool except git's, for what
matter).
