There is no preferred repository:  a sizable number of contributions have come in through the github.com interfaces.  The Subversion trunk provides the linear view of the Git DAG.

They should be in sync: you will need to provide specific references if you find this not to be the case.  If they aren’t in sync, I will bring them in sync.

We will be maintaining the current three repository (two Git, one Subversion) bridge by my idiosyncratic Mercurial bridge as long as I am doing the release engineering.
