and to others there are another 15 at least to choose from, where does it stop, do you want infra to support all of them? or just the one *you* prefer. Let's be blunt, Subversion is and will remain the number one canonical repository at the ASF. We are looking at the possibilities of what we can do in terms of git and some of us will be having a meeting about it at ApacheCon. If we end up with a 2nd canonical git repo alongside svn sometime in the future then that is good, but it is also in the future, not now. Those that want it now, go elsewhere. Maybe I should go hack on some Git code and tell them I want them to have a svn repo that I can commit to because that is basically what everyone is doing here regarding Git when the ASF has Apache Subversion in house. We ARE working towards it but those getting there knickers in a twist about wanting it now and we are not with the times, tough.
