I am not sure if svnmerge is needed with git. With svn all informations about previous commits are lost after merge on new branch so it's hard to get the commits included in merge commit. With git where you have multiple branches you just use merge without fast forward. In this case issues can be hotfixed on branches, then merged to release branches and tagged. With whole nice tree.
