You can even do upstream WebKit development using exclusively Git, even
without needing to use the GitHub mirror, see:

  https://trac.webkit.org/wiki/UsingGitWithWebKit#Checkout

Even for things which would normally require Subversion, “git svn” can be
used 99.9% of the time. For the usual “pull latest code from master, make
a branch, prepare a patch, upload patch to Bugzilla for landing” Subversion
is not needed at all. Just make sure you have 20 to 30 GiB of space for the
Git checkout and building WebKit.

For other more specialized workflows, like checking out release branches and
version tags you will need some “git svn” usage; but IMO that is still nicer
than having to use Subversion.

I hope this helps!
