Personally, I am very much in favor of moving to git. But I shouldn't have a bigger weight on the decision, because the release is only one very small portion of the work that our VCS creates for everyone during our everyday work. IMO: discussions about which system is better are almost useless. Nothing will happen until we have a plan. Discussions about what the problems are are more useful, as someone motivated might be able to craft a plan that can be accepted and then implemented. -- Joel
