Well, I can say that stgit and git-svn in no way interfere with each other. I tend to use stgit to clean up my patch sets before commiting them, and have never had a problem. Thinking about what the tools do, I can't imagine that it would cause a problem.

That said, I'm not sure that stgit will help you with "local versioning" of files (I'm not even sure what you mean). Perhaps you can elaborate on this point.
