IMO it's pretty simple: while the main repo is SVN, *don't* use Git
merges (see Section "CAVEATS" in git-svn(1)).  If/when the repository
switches to Git, then everything Git allows is permitted, of course.

FWIW I'm all in favor of switching to Git, but I think it's up to Eelco
to decide.

Thanks,
Ludo'.
