kde still uses svn. Qt uses git, first applications (amarok as one of the 
more-known projects) converted their repositories to git and there are 
discussions to move whole kde to git.

yes, that's why I vote for git ;) since it's really nice to work with this 
tool in a group. I'll write about one suggestion on how to organise our source 
with git, later.

Another comment is: sf.net should allow us to run both systems for a while, 
right? So we could just switch it on, for a while and have a try. I'm willing 
(and already doing so) to keep the git repo in sync with the svn.

bye then
