Forcing transitioning to git makes no sense for a lot of us - for example,
we have lots of scripts that depend on svn revision numbers - all those
could be redone for git, but who wants to do work that they don't have to?
What "problem" is it solving?

Besides, the git-svn readonly bridge is a great solution for those who want
to use git -  While I agree that dvcs is better (I use mercurial AND git
internally), I just don't see the rationale for forcing those who have
adopted svn to their workflow to go through a disruptive switch.
