It actually has been discussed; some of the discussion was on the binutils list. There's a few of us who'd like to see it happen, but it's not easy, because of partial checkouts. GDB is part of a larger repository (src) and we'd need to a plan to make sure that a transition to any other VC system does not introduce new issues. There's also been some resistance towards git from some of the contributors and maintainers. -- Joel
