Another option is to look at git-svnserver which would allow a git repository backbone, but could talk svn over the wire which these tools could use...

Btw, to see this in another light: as an example of a git tree that merges those same branches, but *before* they are ready, just look at the -mm tree. Now, Andrew actually ends up exposing the end result not as a git tree, but as patches, but what he actually *does* is to: - get my git tree - merge in about 30-40 other git trees from other developers (not all of which necessarily have actual development on them at any particular time) - then merge in his own patch list - expose it all as the -mm patch series So this is an example of how you actually have a totally separate, and still fairly central (the -mm tree is certainly now unknown outside of the core developer circles) tree, and where git is a big part in making a central "experimental" tree that is separate from my own central "development" tree. Also, it's an example of why centralization is bad: different people and entities have different intents. You could *not* reasonably do something like this with a centralized SCM like SVN.
