Yes, when I make the switch, it will likely be all my repositories.

There are still a few things to sort out though, so it may be a while  
before I switch.

For one, the git protocol has no authentication. So I either need to  
create accounts for all users you have permissions to update the  
repository. Or change my model to be like that of the git project.  
The model they, and many others use, is that a contributor either has  
a repository they make accessible that the lead person pulls patches  
from or they mail patches which the lead person applies. Git has a  
method for mailing patches but still preserving the contributor when  
applied.

Graham.
