Is there a a way that a Git server will support svn clients requests

We are looking to migrate our svn respository to a git one.

We want to allow developers to continue using the svn command on the server and we do not want to educate our git users with git-svn client.

We saw that github has the ability to do so. do you know how we can achieve that behavior?

If you are using something like TortoiseSVN, it should be pretty straightforward to migrate to Git and continue to use TortoiseGit. Other than that, there are no SVN clients which can talk with Git.
