I've used git-buildpackage with git-svn on submodules of the DPMT SVN repo without too many difficulties so far. The command line is usually of this kind : $ gbp buildpackage [--git-verbose] --git-cleaner= --git-overlay --git-export-dir=../build-area/ --git-tarball-dir=../tarballs [--git-pbuilder] [-us -uc --git-ignore-new] This at least allows to work "offline" until the commit graph looks nice with git, and push (dcommit) to SVN when the package has been uploaded (or when you have a consistent state). This may also allow keeping in the same git repo an upstream clone together with the git-svn checkout. I think [0] may offer some more details on that topic. In a summary, we have SVN for some large scale operations and to please the dinausors^Waddicted ones, and the power of git for the comfort of the maintainer testing changes to the package locally. Hope this helps.
