Probably like many people I have forgotten how to use svn and the
delights of git (or bzr/mercurial) are just too tempting.
To import svn into git you use something like:
git-svn clone -A ./git.authors --stdlayout svn://wherever
This will give you a two way tracking branch to svn, whilst allowing you
to run a forked version easily locally. Obviously personal preference,
but I find git massively easier to stay on top of watching diffs between
versions and figuring out what changed between versions. Much easier
also to have a private branch which perhaps deviates slightly from the
master and includes your own personal fixes, etc.
(You can ommit the -A param if you don't want to map svn logins to email
addresses)
Good luck
