What are pros and cons of using git-svn?

I'm tired of subversion, it keeps corrupting its own repository. As I was for a long time curios of git and always wanted to try it out, I've decided to give it a go and use git-svn.

Multiple simultaneous version control systems?

I'm relatively new to version control, and so far only have experience working with Subversion using TortoiseSVN/VisualSVN.

IMO this is "normal opertaional flow" and shouldn't require a manual cleanup. Is there a way to not show these cleanup requests to the user but rather just do them silently under the hood and present a consisten...

Are there any alternatives to svn_load_dirs.pl?

We have a large vendor branch (1200 odd files) that has recently undergone some non-trivial changes, which I'd like to integrate back into the trunk.
