What I would really want for our main repository (in addition to a
better solution for branches) is ANY way to have patch queues, patch
management. Working with plaintext diff files is not convenient.

I agree with Steven -- I don't mind a git mirror
(but I would
appreciate an Hg mirror as well -- since you already have git set
up, just run git->hg conversion, it should work flawlessly.
Converting svn->hg is usually not the way to go).
My arguments were against using git as the primary DVCS -- it's
just not the right tool *FOR REACTOS*.
As the old adage says:
1) Analyze your requirements
2) Pick the best tool for your project
3) Shut up about the tool and write code instead
FYI, HgSvn is what I use:
hgsvn allows you to work on SVN checkouts using Mercurial
(mirroring all SVN history in a local Mercurial repository on which
you can also do local development). It is useful for managing
private branches, submitting patches to project maintainers, have
fast local operations instead of slow remote "svn up/log/blame"
