Tips on using Git with svn in presence of a large number of svn externals

Question

I have a workflow(on svn) which I am trying to replicate with git, but am unable to.

I have a large number of Django apps (which are plugged together to form a form a full project) Some of these are in one large repo and others are in smaller repos.

My layout looks something like,

app1 -> repo1/app1
app2 -> repo2/app2
app3 -> repo1/appp3

templates/app1 -> repo1/templates/app1
templates/app2 -> repo2/app2/templates/app2
templates/app3 -> repo1/templates/appp3

site_media/app1 -> repo1/media/app1
site_media/app2 -> repo2/static/app2
site_media/app3 -> repo1/media/appp3

So I work in the correct app repos, and when we want to update any given project, we just do a svn up and svn exterbal takes care of the rest. How do I get this workflow in Git.

You want to use git submodules, and this prior SO question addressed integrating svn repos into a git project.
