I'm not really sure what to make of this, tbh. It's in stark
contrast to the general "you should get going with git, too!"
vibe on IRC and the blogs promoted by the Amarokers. They
seem to be really happy they made the switch, and we at Konvi
don't see any additional needs we have over Amarok.

Yes, Gitorious isn't perfect yet - that's why I started this
thread, I think the tagging situation really needs a fix -
but using git would make it worth putting up with that for
us.

The way I see it, any additional team that makes the leap
and switches over is only going to increase momentum of
the whole transition, which should help with the work on
the list that led to that decision you cite. Preventing
eager people from switching to git won't make switching to
git happen any faster. There's little motivation to work
on the list without concrete need/benefit, and if moving
to git doesn't cause anybody trouble regardless of the
list, then why the hell not allow people to switch and
increase momentum.

Not really. You started things out with "if you move to
git you're going to lose i18n because I won't edit some
files and add some lines". I'd ask you to please reconsi-
der.
