git-svn and tailor can only track one branch (or trunk). As the
git-svn page states, it is for contributing to such a branch /
trunk. git-svnconvert is for converting a whole repository
incrementally of which branches (IMHO) are important to keep and
convert.
git-svnimport does handle multiple branches, but could not cope with
proxy + repo authentification, the weird repo layout I've had to cope
with (branches not only in /branches, several trunks) and some
revisions which contain non-sensical actions.

Take some, lose some ;)
Seriously, though, a dependancy on a mainstream language like
Python/Perl/Ruby/.. isn't a problem since a package is available for
all distributions. However, packages for mainstream languages are
quite often out-of-date or are not supported at all. Seeing a program
being dependant on a non-packaged module is enough for a truckload of
people to not even try it.
