Not in my experience.. The only thing missing is pushing tags to
subversion. I tag with svn or svk when I need to do that, but for
everything else git svn works well (I use branches quite heavily,
and the fact that git's model is so much more flexible WRT branches
makes it even more useful than SVK for me).

To me SVK is like making subversion bearable, while git is about
making it obsolete. Obviously SVK's support of SVN repositories is
a little smoother, but the benefits of having a real git repository
with real git branches, merging, cherry picking and so on that can
sync bidirectionally to SVN outweighs this for me.
