Tom:
1. Unlike SVN checkout, git checkout cannot be resumed. It starts
over if interrupted.
2. .git folder's size will blow up with every release. Git is not
so good for binary files.

I've been kind of wondering if they would eventually be migrated too. I only
update my local libs occasionally, so it has a tenancy to fail if doing a large
update spanning many revisions. Plus the benefit of not having to use two
different tools.
Now with Git LFS being more widespread, it should mitigate the issue with all
the large binary libraries.

When checking out the libraries from SVN following the directions on
https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Building_Blender/Windows
The svn checkout of the libraries fails with significant frequency,
if you google you might stumble across using make svnfix
https://www.mail-archive.com/bf-blender-cvs@blender.org/msg151996.html
Even after using it, I'm still having to do Ctrl C, and then make
svnfix repeatedly (it downloads some files, than randomly freezes,
sometimes after 20-50 files, sometimes after 100's of files).
Git doesn't seem to have any problems, though.
So might we consider migrating the libs to git, rather than using SVN?
