I have no opposition to the idea in principle, save for the implication that
I'd need to maintain now both a Subversion repository and a Git branch.
Merging isn't any trouble for me in Subversion, so there's no immediate
benefit to me there.  But if someone wanted to organize a Git repository for
unofficial ViewVC tweaks, I certainly can't prevent that.  My only real
concern (which is a general concern about all distributed version control
setups, and is admittedly swimming in a lack of personal experience) is that
the notion of "the official ViewVC distribution" will become clouded.  It's
time-consuming enough to field bug reports on code I currently maintain
without having to also deal with bug reports on code I *don't* (that came
from some random Git branch).
