Well, one issue would be the merge tracking that we do for backporting would need a major update for a pure git thing. It currently uses svn properties on the root directory to maintain it's information. Those are obviously not available in a pure git setup. That said, I've thought about moving them out of svn properties and into a ".mergeinfo" file in the root. I haven't done it as using the properties maintains compatibility with the svnmerge.py script. Obviously that script would be irrelevant for pure git. :-) Really wouldn't be TOO much work to update my DoMerges script for a pure git environment and use those files. It already supports a "git-svn" environment using cherry-pick/commit/push setups (and just uses a little "svn" to update the properties).
