I'm broadly in favour of using a distributed system, though I don't have the same antipathy to Subversion that some do. My preference is for Mercurial, and normally I'd try to persuade people to use that over git, which I see as the C++ of version control systems, and I don't mean that in a good way -- but really I have less stake in this than anyone at this point. There's not much point in my arguing for Mercurial if all of the active developers are already using git. (I would be able to help with the transition if Mercurial was involved, e.g. converting / pruning the existing history as appropriate, but I've nothing to offer for a conversion to git.) There are all sorts of things I would love to be doing with the Rosegarden code, and much as I might prefer to do them in a Mercurial repo, it's not the version control system that's holding me back -- it's entirely my own ability to find any time for it.
