Perhaps this is asking too much.

git-svn often doesn't work, especially if the other side also needs
git-svn.

The git mirror would be read-only, so if you want to contribute changes
to LLVM using git you need git-svn anyways.

I pull down changes from upstream much more frequently than I send
changes up.  To send changes up, diff+patch+svn, while not ideal, is
workable.
