GitHub provides some basic read-write SVN views into a git repository. There is also a git-svn tool which allows for bi-directional conversion between git and svn so for your case you could clone the uPortal git repository, run git-svn to convert it to a svn repository and use that for the externals source. If there is enough interest and it is the best solution we may even be able to look into having a read-only SVN view of the uPortal git repository hosted on Jasig's server.

Err, actually, now that I think of it, we use svn:externals locally
against the JASIG svn repository, and locally we would remain using
svn because that's the university's repository. I'd probably end up
scripting the git commands for our build process. Then I'd use git
commands if I were working on a patch for a community portlet.

This isn't a 4:30pm puzzle.

There's a command line interface, cool.

Does git have anything like svn:externals? A quick search brought up a
few pages that lead me to believe it might be an issue, though if a
read-only SVN repository is still part of the plan, maybe that covers
it. I'd have to do more research.

Some questions that I can try and answer before they come up:
- The uPortal code in svn at source.jasig.org would likely be left in place,
we would just make the entire /uPortal directory read-only
- We're going to filter out the documentation and website files that were
included in early versions of uPortal 2 to reduce the project repository
size.

Since this is a big change (and since I'm going on vacation for 2 weeks
starting Friday) I'm planning on leaving this vote open for a while. +1, 0,
-1 to vote and if you vote -1 you need to include a detailed reasoning for
your -1 vote.
