Depending on the students pre-knowledge I think yes. Its not just about
writing a parser for the git output and calling git from inside
KDevelop. We're going to need some UI as well and that can get complex
for a DVCS. We don't even have basic stuff like branching and tagging
for the existing VCS, especially no UI. 

Its also not quite clear wether our existing interfaces are properly
designed for a DVCS (I sure hope so, but without a backend its hard to
tell for sure), so there might be design work and discussion needed as
well...

Last but not least: You can always extend the SoC project if you see the
student moves along fast. Given my experience last year that makes more
sense than stuffing a hundred things into the project and at the end
having to admit that there were only 30% achieved or something like
that...
