It’s not totally clear that anyone downstream would have this imposed on them.  If you’re downstream and are using svn upstream, then hopefully you can switch to the GitHub svn without too much pain and still have monotonic revision numbers and so on and retain an upstream VCS that has no integration with whatever you are using downstream (presumably people doing this have a model of pull a snapshot from llvm trunk at a specific known revision into a branch in their repo and then merge to trunk).  If you’re using git already downstream, via either git-svn or the official (or unofficial) git mirrors, then you’re less likely to see an issue.
