As much as I personally agree with the sentiment, unfortunately git-svn is just not as mature and useful as bzr-svn. While you can just 'bzr push' like we already had bzr.gnome.org all along, git-svn has rules and limitations on what does and doesnt work (and maybe what is and isnt safe to try and do...)
