That will cause the commit messages to be different, which means you won't have the same commit hashes, so this pretty much won't be useful. (You'd end up fetching the remote repo's entire svn history if you tried to do git fetch.)

The assumption here is that you have exactly the same revision history in your tracking branches as the repo you're fetching from.
