Using SVN, coordinating library and compiler changes (ie. spanning multiple repositories) generally resulted in a window where the library code was out of date or broken.  With Git I'm finding that I can create a series of pull requests that reference one another, which is a heck of a lot nicer than including multiple patch files to a bugzilla ticket.

I've written a bit about that in the still-embryonic contributor's
guide:

It's probably a good idea to always create a new branch for each pull
request, though, so I'll put a note about that in there, too.
