It does not make integration easier, but it certainly makes patch
management easier for the patch writer. There are other means to
manage patch on top of svn, but I find git-svn extremely useful.
Actually, I use git-svn on top of svn repositories for projects I have
write access to. git-svn is then a powerful way to manage patches
(thanks to rebase).
