Currently I'm using the following SVN clients: TortoiseSVN for Windows and AnkhSVN for Visual Studio 2005+. I heard that GIT has a great level of interoperability with SVN. Would my tools work with a GIT repository?

At least, regarding Tortoise, you have a git-equivalent:

TortoiseGit.

Context Menu from tortoisegit.googlecode.com/git/doc/images/en/ContextMenuDirControl.png

And gitExtension can help with Visual Studio, as mentioned in this SO question

Nope. Use the git client. Git is more complex than SVN and has a very different structure.

GitHub.com has read/write support for SVN clients to their Git hosted repositories: https://github.com/blog/644-subversion-write-support

You can checkout a git repository but you can't do most of other operations. You can setup tortoise git which provides same interface for Git although the commands are different.
