Not in the sense of git-svn.  Where I want a single simple UI to
different VCSes I use vc.el.  Where I really need fine control over
the history graph, I use raw git.  If I don't have a git repo, I make
one.

You mean git-darcs?  Or darcs-svn?

Well, yes and no.  It's not the radical innovation that DVCS is, but
Subversion does many things so much better than CVS by now that it's a
different model.
