Based on this thread, I took a leap and ported git/cogito to cygwin, so that they are now available from a standard cygwin installation, and am considering using git on more projects myself. I think moving gnulib to git would be reasonable; I particularly liked the concept of being able to diff history without a network connection, and of branches being O(1) instead of O(n).
I would vote for this too, despite the fact that I've never used git before. The rationale is that I would be able to tag which version of Gnulib got released in which version of findutils, which at the moment I can only do by examining the files in the findutils-x.yy.zz.tar.gz release file. (That is, there should be no need to have commit access to the root Gnulib repository in order to simply track which version of the software I used) James.
