Github allows you to use svn to checkout a git repo with svn. There is
an option under the clone url to set it to subversion.

U-Boot should just be a tarball, if it is a git repo we would need to
make it a tarball for the release to supply the source as it is GPL.

Yes, but I assume this is not feasible for 10.0.
