Hello, here are my 2.3 cents.

> My thoughts pro Subversion:
> * The learning curve of SVN is much smaller

I do not agree with that at all. It might be more convenient and the
commands might be similar however the learning effort does not come for
that. The learning effort comes from trying to understand decentralizes
versus centralized SCM and that has nothing to do with SVN or git, it is
simply a difference in management.

> * Since commits are linear, merge problems are easier to understand and solve

That is negligible when using a hoster such as git-hub or a code review
tool like gerrit (which we should use anyway).

> * Partial checkouts are easier (if at all possible with Git)
not necessary with git, as you could create a partial branch.

I doubt that. It all becomes a matter of how it is explained and
presented. I would be happy to do a Video howto series on git.

For me git is the better choice, especially since we are a distributed
open source project
