Re: Moving to git?

Hi,

I would rather switch to git and install git-cvsserver for users that 
don't know what git is (and why should user use cvs/svn/git?? user 
should use release! Hint...).
git-svn can handle only one branch on svn. so you lose great git branch 
support.

as for the developer, look here:
http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/SoC2008Ideas

There are eclipse plugin and another interesting stuff.

@Andreas: there no megs of dependencies for git:

Description: Stupid content tracker
  This is a stupid (but extremely fast) directory content manager.  It
  doesn't do a whole lot, but what it _does_ do is track directory
  contents efficiently. It is intended to be the base of an efficient,
  distributed source code management system. This package includes
  rudimentary tools that can be used as a SCM, but you should look
  elsewhere for tools for ordinary humans layered on top of this.
