FYI, any Git repository on GitHub also functions as a Subversion repository:

$ svn checkout https://github.com/WebKit/webkit/trunk WebKit
A    WebKit/.dir-locals.el
A    WebKit/.gitattributes
A    WebKit/.gitignore
A    WebKit/.qmake.conf
A    WebKit/CMakeLists.txt
A    WebKit/ChangeLog
A    WebKit/ChangeLog-2012-05-22
A    WebKit/Examples
A    WebKit/Examples/ChangeLog
A    WebKit/Examples/NetscapeCocoaPlugin
A    WebKit/Examples/NetscapeCocoaPlugin/English.lproj
A    WebKit/Examples/NetscapeCocoaPlugin/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings
A    WebKit/Examples/NetscapeCocoaPlugin/Info.plist
A    WebKit/Examples/NetscapeCocoaPlugin/MenuHandler.h
A    WebKit/Examples/NetscapeCocoaPlugin/MenuHandler.m
…

You can even use Subversion branches to create pull requests on GitHub
(though I don't know what the performance would be like for a
repository as large as WebKit):
<https://github.com/blog/1178-collaborating-on-github-with-subversion>.
GitHub doesn't currently make the Subversion<->Git bridge available
for non-GitHub repositories.

I don't say this to try to convince anyone to switch to Git or GitHub;
I just thought it seemed relevant.
