If you must keep with subversion, explicitly authorize the use of git-svn for developers who are using git. Git use causes smaller incremental commits, which can be squashed into bigger ones for re-merging, but makes for better, more ambitious changes, and easier rollbacks to working code. You get 85% of the benefit by allowing those who can handle it to use git as a subversion client.
