It's also easy to use your own clone on github/gitorious/etc. for independent coders who want their own code (or parts of it) separate from blender.org. Having an official git master of Blender will make it a lot easier to share commits between such independent branches, since you get the same version history of trunk commits, unlike when using git on top of svn. Everybody wins :)
