On the other hand, git would soon save more time than the initial
download time. Where svn commit for 70 patches takes > 60 minutes, git
push would just take 10 seconds (!). For just a single patch "git pull;
git commit; git push" also will be faster than "svn up; svn commit" but
the difference wouldn't be so noticeable of course.
Also my impression is that SVN is basically dead as of now (yes, seems
it died really fast, much faster than anyone could have predicted). But
SF, google code, github, gitorious... it's basically all git and
otherwise mercurial or bazaar.
