as great as git has become, i think it would be unfortunate to fragment kde 
development along multiple VCs like this. it will raise the barrier to entry 
for those wanting to get involved with our various projects.

when we switched to svn, cvs was a massive pain point and git (or the other 
distributed vcs options) just wasn't "there" yet as viable options, imho. if 
we were doing it again today perhaps we'd actually consider switching to git.

i think in a few years time we will need to make a switch to such a system to 
help accommodate development in areas where network isn't readily available 
in the way that svn requires. until then ....
