Keeping a Git repository in sync with a Subversion repository is really easy:

Clone the Subversion repository (in this simple example I am ignoring branches/tags)

$ git svn clone https://url/to/repo/trunk

Keep up-to-date with the Subversion trunk:

$ git svn rebase

Now, if you had commit access to the Subversion repo, you could push your changes:

$ git commit
$ git svn dcommit

Otherwise, submitting a patch is your only option, if the committers to the Subversion repository have no interest in using Git:

$ git diff 1cc92b96 > my_patch.patch

In this case it's obviously best not to make commits to the branch you are syncing with the Subversion repo.
