Tools like GitHub succeed because not everybody agrees with you.
svn/diff is stoneage to some. git/pr is the future for them. Maybe you
are right about the habit thing, but it doesn't change the fact
everybody seems to enjoy with git these days. SVN is on the same road as
CVS. It's not that I don't like SVN. It has served me well and I still
use it. I know teams which are doing better with SVN. But esp in open
source using SVN looks like the code is maintained by dinosaurs who
don't want to work with "new things".
Please note, I am not saying we should move on to Git right now.
Moving to Git will be a lot of work and we'll have a lot of questions to
answer.
For example: how would we deal with pull requests? There are no partial
checkouts in git. We would have most likely one repos per component.
Would we need to create a "super parent component" including all proper
components as submodule, like we have the svn view? And so on.
If we have enough willing folks to push this forward, I am happy to see
it happen (unfort i am tight of time at the moment)
Cheers
If you want to push back your changes you'll do whatever the techno
is.

I don't think using SVN is a barrier to private modifications like
this.
People just fork the mirror on Github, or import the code with
git-svn.
I didn't said it was. Of course you'll do your private change, but
you
won't share it easily (not as easily as with git IMO).
