Frank / Antonio, FYI, I keep the repo at https://github.com/mloskot/gdal up to date daily. I'm assembling a server at home, so it will become cronjob-managed soon. I am not proposing git for GDAL. However, I believe github could be very useful to host GDAL sandbox which can be forked by anyone and without hassle of managing privs in OSGeo SVN.
