One reason I see is that in this way we have a full backup of the main svn TeXmacs repo, which could be useful something should happen to savannah (which happened in the past…).
Anyway one of the point of using git is that there is no “blessed” git repository. For TeXmacs the only official place is the svn repo, the git mirrors are just convenient for development but, as far as I see, pull requests should be integrated in svn by people allowed to do it. I maintain my svn mirror for myself and for convenience for other people. In this way I can have multiple branches easily and test various configurations, but all the serious stuff reach the svn sooner or later. So as long as all the git mirrors fetch from svn there is no confusion possible. The only bad thing it could happen is that one mirror is not updated often enough. Best mg > On 20.
