I work against a CVS repo in the way you want to use SVN and I find StGIT to be a perfect fit for my needs. StGIT's doesn't replace GIT's command so I use StGIT for it's patch management and the standard git commands for the rest. I can't see that working agains SVN should be any different, except the git-svn* vs git-cvs commands.

The GIT commands aren't that hard to understand. The difficulty is to know which commands to use. I use these commands

stg init, new, add, remove push, pop, refresh, status, pull, goto, diff (and a new command float that I wrote which simplified some pop-push sequences)

git log push, diff

In addition I use qgit for browsing when git log isn't comfortable enough and occasionally the standard patch command.
