Why? Just import every tarball into git, and then push into the central
SVN repository everybody is going to work with. git will reconstruct
the rename/move history and SVN will be glad to receive and exhibit it.
In short: just use git as your private toolkit in order to import new
versions into SVN.

I guess my brain can't understand what you are trying to say. :) If I can restate what I think you are saying is to make a git repository somewhere on the public internet. (I don't know of any free git hosts) Then use that as the external repository and then I import the git into our local svn repository.
