It solves the problem of a third party reintegrating their changes back
to upstream.  This is very, very difficult with svn because of its
centralized design.

No.  It does nothing to fix the problem of integrating private work (in
a private repository) back to upstream.

There are other benefits to moving to git but for me at least, this is
the most important.
