Thanks,  I'll have to start pulling some more recent clones...

You could partially mitigate the issue that David highighted by grouping
the svn repositories in to the git repositories - albeit as multi-header
repositories,  then it would be possible to commit to aggregate repositories.

e.g.  Make :    make
      Base :    base
                corebase
                libobjc2
      Gui  :    gui
                back
                coreimage
                opal
                quartzcore
                uikit
      CoreApp : gworkspace
                systempreferences
      Gorm
      ProjectCentre

etc.

Then the only co-ordination required with commits would be across between the
agregates,  i.e. libraries in base should be largely independant of those in
Gui.
