Move to git?

[Ed W <..hidden..>]

Hi folks, There was a previous (several?) discussion about moving the 
source to git? I kind of thought that the conclusion was "yes"? What 
happened?

I would be very keen to see the code move to some kind of dvcs - I have 
a desire to develop some enhancements to our local installation and I 
confess that I find it *massively* easier to maintain a fork using some 
kind of dvcs than SVN... I concede that it should be possible for me to 
use git locally and pull from svn upstream, but I have had various 
failures making that work in practice, seems somewhat fragile..?

What is the current status?  Any chance I might raise the idea as a 
serious prospect again?  Note I do think running some kind of modern 
dvcs is a significant boost to attracting external developers...

Additionally I would lightly suggest that github can be a great place to 
host and can be a slightly positive marketing tool (I will accept 
opinions vary a lot on that...)

Thanks for listening!
