Disclaimer: I felt in love with git some days ago at aKademy. I'm actually 
working with it when I have to work on major features on KDE (like the 
krunner refactoring; I cannot commit things when they do not compile ;-) ), 
but doing things like merging stuff back is a real pain, as I have to do 
everything by hand.

Git offers very useful tools for local usage, and we could think of using it 
with a central repo. I'm not sure how well it will work with our developement 
model, maybe it'll just be useful to re-bring to life some applications, or 
extragear.

Anyway, I ran across this message a couple of hours ago, and for what I read 
seems very promising:

I'd love to see that.
