My fear is that deciding on another VCS to use that is so different in
headspace than CVS will just degrade again into a holy war over who's
favourite to pick and nothing will ever get done.  If everyone agrees
git is awesome and actually benefits our common workflow and isn't just
the hip thing to be switching to these days, then I'm all for it. If
we're going to argue the pros and cons endlessly and still be using CVS
in 2010 then I'd really rather just do SVN now, which I admit would give
relatively minor benefits, but also have minor costs as far as learning
curve and flamemail-generation go.

Whatever we eventually switch to I'm behind 100%.  Just kill CVS
already.  It's eating the children.
