It is because GIT is really mess. You can't take one version/revision 
from GIT. It is a base with milions of commits and even taking back a 
patch is another commit to the GIT tree so making integration from GIT 
to SVN is horrendeus work and since there is nobody to make SVN fork for 
official release then obviously there is nobody to make integration from 
GIT to SVN.
It is match easier to make integration from SVN to GIT than in backward 
direction.
