Git also allows you to publish your local cloned repository, *before* you commit it back upstream into svn, so people can comment on it earlier. You can then rewrite your local history, taking into consideration all suggestions, and when it's finally right, the final commit to svn is clean and has no cruft. Git has plugins to commit an entire new feature as a series of patches in jira. I haven't yet used this plugin tho.
