svn support is provided in the svn variant:

$ port variants git-core
git-core has the variants:
        doc: Install HTML and plaintext documentation
        gitweb: Install gitweb.cgi
        svn: Bi-directional subversion repository support
        bash_completion: Completion support for bash

Okay, sounds like the default install shouldn't include the git-svn related documentation, then.

The svn variant doesn't actually change anything, it just makes sure the necessary dependencies for git svn are installed. You should be able to use 'git svn' even if you don't specify the +svn variant. Note that it's 'git svn' not 'git-svn' - svn is just a subcommand of the git tool.
