Hi,

The only problem at the moment seems that the svn/git mirroring is slow.

I don't know if it's applicable for asf or even if they already considered 
it but in the last company I've been working for, they used subgit [1] to 
mirror the svn repositories and after a one-time setup which cloned our svn 
repo, the mirroring was almost instaneous (both sides), the benefit is 
keeping svn as main repository while having the ability to work with git 
transparently.

I count 46 projects on GIT (see https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf) so
it's hard for me continue to think it's "experimental" today.

As you say, maybe this will end not happen, but it could be the opposite,
and walk backwards like crabs: Staying in GIT could bring less
contributions than expected or make potential contributors not encourage to
expend the time since they are not confortable with the overall process.
