This is done large-scale for all KDE ebuilds (in the KDE overlay) to support master and KDE/4.x stable branch. Most use git, so no problem; some (still) use subversion but will be migrated upstream soon(?). Other examples are libreoffice (main tree, git) and cups (main tree, subversion). -- Andreas K.
