If you can supply patches as unidiff attachments, that's a solution for now. We're contemplating moving to github, in which case you could simply submit pull requests. Do you have github experience?

Yes I do. I've found Git and github a pleasure to work with compared to svn. Obviously there is a small learning curve going from svn to git, but git is fundamentally better at dealing with multiple disperse contributors. Don't take my word for it, just google git vs svn.

To be honest, I *much* prefer mercurial to git. And one of the big selling points on my side is that subversion now for the most part just works against a github repository, so a framework which provides first-rate support for svn, mercurial, and git to he repositories is very helpful.

This is not to the place to go into the reasons for my preference, but I will say that, assuming we move, svn will still be supported, and those looking for a dvcs with easy entry from svn may want to check out Mercurial. The major reason for the likely move is better support for a wider range of vcs tools.

It doesn't look like there is much between them:

I've faith in Git as I have faith in Linus. Much the way I've faith in Perl as I have faith in Larry.
