+1. I wanted to comment on that point too and forgot.
We've been using Git & Maven for 3 years at job, and use the m-release-p on
many multimodules projects without issue.
So I don't understand what your general point is about. There sure may be
some cases where this is complicated, but I don't see us at mojo be
concerned.

I don't think we actually want SVN to be "ditched" immediately after the
migration.
Just set it readonly so that people don't commit there by mistake.
That's what we did some years ago when switching from svn to many Git
repos. And those SVN repos are still accessible today on the corp svn
server, though I don't think many people go there.
