I have previously suggested using a git repo for easier experimental 
development. It has one downside: external git commits don't work with 
svn because commiters don't match. In practice it means that all patches 
which a developer takes in to his codebase before commiting them to svn 
must be plain patches, not git commits. So, if we have a git repo and 
Gary pushes his changes there, I can't just pull them and commit them to 
our svn repo. And if I have understood correctly, neither can Gary. We 
both have use our svn accounts to commit to svn and our git repo 
accounts can't be directly translated to svn accounts. We have to apply 
the git commits as patches to our private codebase and then commit to 
the svn with our svn accounts. Then we loose the git history.

git-svn "gateway" works a bit differently. It creates a private git repo 
and when you commit to svn you use you svn account and git-svn 
"translates" the git commits to svn commits. But this git repo probably 
can't be used publicly in an effective way. I may be wrong - if someone 
knows better, I would love to hear. It would be great to be able to keep 
a public git repo.
