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.

If this is correct, I can't see any benefit. It actually makes it harder for the repository admin. If I just do the same suggestion, only use svn, I can use Subversions ability to include externals and just get the code directly from the internet svn repository.

Can you explain why that is better then using svn? And I am not talking about reasons one version control is better then the other. I am tring to understand why it matters if I use the philosophy of coping the tarball to a git repository or to a svn repository.
