Another use case where this is useful is that newer packages may still need to use the 'devel' BioC branch as something of a 'release' branch since a natural release cycle is faster than the BioC cycle (I think of the BioC devel branch that way for some packages).
This way the master branch on git can be the 'no guarantees' branch, and another branch on git is synchronized with the devel branch on svn.
