That is only an option if:
1. git-svn actually works on Haiku (it didn't last time I tried)
2. People working in Git or Hg can share branches and still commit
back up to SVN eventually.
3. We figure out workflows that aren't a pain for the people who
choose to use one of the other tools. Like a lot of recommendations
I've seen say not to do much "normal" Git stuff when using git-svn. Or
at least you have to be more careful.
There are probably other issues.
I'm not sure if keeping sequential revision numbers is worth all that.

If if the new repo is based on the existing imports from SVN we should
be OK. At least the git-svn import shows the SVN revision numbers in
the imported commits.
