While this might seem a bit backward, it helps tremendously with interoperability with pre-git projects that extensively use `svn:externals` (and there are still some good reasons to use `svn:externals` instead of `git submodules` - like being able to checkout subtrees). Github supports this: Personally, I wouldn't care if the bridge was read-only (though others might see that differently)
