Thanks Kevin,

   I think i better give svn another serious look . 

but then, my impression from the rest of the people is that p4 and svn 
are not the ultimate tools for hardware development either .

I guess we just do not have the perfect tool for asic dev yet .

You could always use a main SVN repo and then use git-svn to maintain 
your own private git repos, do all the code syncing you want there, 
and then push it back to SVN when you want to send it back to the main 
build stream. If you go this route, be careful to maintain a linear 
history on the branch that tracks the SVN repo, as SVN cannot handle 
merges the way git can. You'll want to either do rebasing or squashed 
merges (to avoid multiple parents).
