I'm very familiar with git-svn, I recommend you just learn the basics of git
instead of using it though. As for using git-svn to port the whole codebase
to svn, people usually use it to migrate from subversion to git, rather than
the other way around. Moving from a DVCS to a centralised one means a loss
of data and functionality. Subversion works for certain workflows, but the
Android platform is definitely not one of them.

I'm not sure what exactly you are asking for with this Windows support
suggestion. Is it not something you could work on and contribute to the
project? That is the whole point of it being open source... modify the build
scripts, add some Windows tools and some documentation, and offer some
patches back.

subversion migration is an easy task... take a look at "git-svn"

Windows support not easy task as I understand, but it can be done. Can
be included binaries instead of full source code compilation and used
several other workarounds... I mention that experimental support of
Windows will be sufficient. In any case compilation of sources are
done on ARM processor that not native for windows and linux as well...
issue with "case sensitive" file system that was mention above can be
solved by small "move into folder" workarounds and changes in Make
files.

Please understand that you force Windows developer completely change
environment. Not many developers will be ready to do that.
