How does it make git not friendly?  Commiting code that doesn't build
has always caused people pain, it just happens that with git it includes
the pain of loosing use of a major feature of git.

I like the regex saerches in commits using git log.  Having git-svn
to grab a svn tree and being able to do all the git tricks on it is
very handy.  A native git tree is much faster to fetch though.
