This argument has been had in enough places, at enough times, I think. Also, once switched to a changeset based system, moving to another changeset based system is much less difficult. There's still some doubt whether src should change at all, but I really don't feel we need to debate what it would change to. Doing live imports from SVN to GIT is probably not hard for folks who would prefer to use GIT; in fact I see that svnimport already does support it. -- Daniel Jacobowitz CodeSourcery
