My employer uses subversion for version-control, and this is unlikely to change. I'm interested in learning more about git, and using git-svn to interface with my employer's subversion repositories. My question is: if I were to begin using git-svn, would I need to do some or all of my version control work from the command-line? Or is there a (linux) GUI client that can perform all the git-svn-related tasks that I will need?
Update: Based on the answers so far, there doesn't appear to be a GUI client for git-svn. However, I would like to call attention to this feature request for the Giggle GUI client as proof that there is some interest in a feature like this. Hopefully a positive answer to this question can be added sometime in the coming months. (In fact, I think that in the near future, the best way to interact with subversion might be to use a GUI client for git!)
Update 2: The recently released 2.1 version of SmartGit does fully support Git/SVN integration. This proves that there is at least one GUI client allowing Git and SVN to be used together. There may be more.

Git comes with built-in GUI tools for committing (git-gui) and browsing (gitk), but there are several third-party tools for users looking for platform-specific experience. If you want to add another GUI tool to this list, just follow the instructions.
A free Git client for Windows and Mac Sourcetree simplifies how you interact with your Git repositories so you can focus on coding. Visualize and manage your repositories through Sourcetree's simple Git GUI.
There is no gui client for Git-SVN; so you will have to use the command line to use Git-svn. Fortunately, you don't have to learn much to work git-svn. Some resources, from simple to detailed:
