there is a little misunderstanding: I'm not talking about fully switching from svn to git I'm talking about keeping svn as canonical repository but adding a read-only git mirror like done on many svn repositories [1]
This does not change anything to the host configuration, but adds a GitHub mirror for external people to contribute through GitHub Pull Requests, which are so much easier to submit than svn patch attached to a Jira issue: this will give a chance to get more contributions. Later on, we can decide to switch to Git (with gitwcsub acting like currently svnwcsub), but that will be another choice to do in another time.
