Well, it would be more in line with my development process. Currently I
maintain a quilt repo on top of cvs and only push patches when I
consider them ready. Obviously, I could just keep doing that with svn (I

Yes, just like with svn. For that matter, there is a way to use git w/
svn and there is a way to import svn into git. So I only ask these
questions to make sure we have explored our options.
