I know it's a bit late, but I would not convert the whole
subversion repository into one huge git repository. Instead
I would try to split it up as much as I could. It's easier for
people to contribute then and preserves all options for hosting.

If you need an example how to handle a bunch of git repos have
a look at the xonotic project [*], which is quite comparable to
wesnoth. All their repos are handled by a central wrapper script
which is easy to use even for an unexperienced developer.

That sounds a bit much. Shouldn't that be about the size of a
git-svn clone of the current subversion repository (1.5 GB)?
Did you purge the relics from git history rewrites?
