How true this is. I spoke with one sysadmin who told me that even if 100% of the developers were using git-svn he would never allow git as the official location to store code on the servers and it must be pushed back to svn. I am not sure how to respond to people like that.

Edit: When pressed for more details it was clear that he was happy with his svn server setup and didn't want to change and have to learn something new. This was not a logical discussion, but an emotional one and as he ran the servers he had the final say.
