Given that Summer of Code students will be given a subversion branch at djangoproject.com to commit to -- in order to provide maximum visibility for their work within the community -- it's probably worth just using git-svn and pulling from the upstream repository, even initially. As a single data point, I've been using git and git add-ons for my primary Django core development work since before I had commit privileges (I started using git very early in its life) and have always kept in sync directly from the master subversion repository. Lately (last couple of years), git-svn has been The Solution for me, although I've used other approaches in the past as well. At any given time, I have about a dozen active local branches for development that I then merge into trunk when appropriate. That's largely because branches are effectively free to create and I commit as checkpoints, locally. As always, there are multiple approaches and I don't want to slight or invalidate Brian's experiences. It's definitely a case of doing whatever works easiest for oneself and trying out a few options initially is encouraged, too.
