Correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is that using unix groups for 
access control with git would be to coarse-grained to accurately model the 
existing ACLs.

My understanding is that UNIX permissions can only restrict access to whole 
repositories and not specific files or trees under those repositories.  If 
that's the case, it presented problems on the front-end (we'd have to split 
the repository to match the ACLs) and on the bank-end (if I new ACL is 
required, we have to split an existing repository that is in active use.)

I don't see any reason bug-handling is required to change at the same time as 
a git migration.  Reviewboard does need nominal git support.
