This is of course a policy decision and I am sure you have plenty of
reasons for it. However, just from a technical perspective, migrating
and keeping an svn->git repo in sync is reasonably straightforward (ie
you should be able to do it if you want to...)
Roughly speaking you generate a file mapping svn users to their email
address (this step is optional, but git uses email addresses as the
usernames). Then simply run:
git svn clone -A ./git.authors --stdlayout svn://my_svn
This gives you a new git branch that should sync both ways.
I think it's reasonably nice to keep source code history around for
later interest and perusal?

P.S. Wasn't going to offer an opinion, BUT, if you did migrate like
this, then it might make it substantially easier to continue to
independently develop 1.3 bug fixes, new code in 2.0, but still keep the
two trees in sync...
