I've been using git submodule to refer to external repos that I don't
maintain.  (which works great)

So far in order to use an svn repo as a submodule I end up doing a git
svn clone, and basically have a crontab job that pulls from svn and
pushes to git repo.  Then I end up using the git repo it creates as a
git submodule.

The workflow does work, though it is a bit tedious.   I was wondering
if there was any particular reason why having an svn repo as a
submodule isn't supported at this time.  Or if there was a better way
of accomplishing this that escapes me.
