Major SubGit benefits are

• Great translation and initial import performance (in comparison to git-svn)
• No limits are put on Svn and Git users (contrary to git-svn)
• Requires no shell access to Subversion repository (contrary to SubGit 1.0.x)

SubGit includes powerful translation engine, which would translate

• merge tracking information and merge history
• non-linear Git commits history to Subversion
• subprojects, tags and branches
• svn:ignore and .gitignore ignore definitions
• svn:eol-style and .gitattributes special properties
• symbolic links
• commit authors and dates
• files and directories renames

There are a few limitations on translation (see Translation Limitations). These limitations only affects translation, and do not prevent Git and Subversion from being used to their full extents.
