I see.
I asked the git conversion question a few years ago of Felix (the guy).
Back then it was a big no-no. I do hope things have changed now for the
project.
I'm a big fan of Git and have done a major Git conversion for a large
site some 6 years ago, and can tell you from experience that Git adjusts
really well to any workflow you choose and will actually cost less time
(and is actually easier!) than other VCSes.
The conversion did spark a lot of controversy and 'religious' arguments.
In the end _nobody_ complained after an initial 3 week adjustment period
in which they got to understand Git a bit better, and got a feel for the
advantages after actually working with Git.
So best of luck.

For Ferry,
The workflow to apply github pull requests with git svn is complex and
error prone. More and more, contributions from the outside come in as
pull requests.
What's 'broken', and I choose that term with some trepidation, is that
some of us really prefer some git workflow (task branches, whatever),
and use git at our day jobs, and would rather not switch our brains to
svn or the combination. The premise of this discussion is that if
we're willing to do the work, others are willing to see us do it. It
could be that there isn't a consensus for that.

Side-line for me too.
How about just using 'git svn ...'
Work locally in git, store in svn.
What's the big deal?
If there are blocking process issues _then_ you switch, right?

SVN isn't that bad after all, so why fix something that isn't really
broken?
Right now I don't see much of a benefit to this, but as I'm not part of
any
decision makers here,
take this just as a little hint :-)

My recommendation at this point in the discussion is to convert the
repo _en bloc_, then split out very independent things (if any), and
only then contemplate add-ons.
