No, they don't! You can continue to use TortoiseSVN for example. See: https://github.com/blog/626-announcing-svn-support
"For now it's only read-only, but who knows what will happen in the future!" I doubt that it's possible to make this work perfectly because git and svn just handle some things differently. Otherwise, why isn't git-svn good enough for those who want to use git?
I have used git-svn quite successfully in two bigger projects - definitely many more commits than Boost - to create isomorphically embedded images in Git, including proper treatment of tags and branches - using the standard mapping. Yes, I did cull old history (such as "older than two years") admittedly... Additionally, in one of them, I continued to bridge Git and SVN for six months. Nope, I did not prove the isomorphism by subsequently exporting the Git repository ("git fast-export --all") back into a SVN repository, so can only formally claim "perceptual homomorphism"... So, I would not say that git-svn is not good enough, in general, if the SVN project has reasonable (simplistic?) meta structures. /David
