That's of course true, but for DVCS project I'd prefer using Git just
to make sure we eat our own dogfood right from the beginning. If we
need history, I'm sure that can be done with git-svn. The easiest way
of git svn dcommit will obviously not work because we'd like to use
the separate git branch(es) for development. Otherwise we'll never try
using branching/merging from inside KDevelop. I'll figure out how to
do that automatically or in the worst case we'll write our own dcommit
script.
