I don't understand your point, though.

In general, git-svn-based repos would be harder to live with merging.

* To track upstream (llvm.org/git/*.git/master), you may better do
"git rebase origin/master" on your working branch.

* To generate patch, don't forget to rebase onto upstream master.

  - You may do "git cherry-pick" on your proposal-candidate-branch.
  - You may use "git diff" "git show" git format-patch". Most of us
don't blame git-style diff (AFAIK!)

* To post your patches to *-commits, please read;
http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html#git_mirror

* When your patch would be applied to upstream, you should do "git
rebase origin/master" on your working branches.
