A primary factor in my decision to use Mercurial, is that it has much better Windows support, and wget has typically had support for Windows (though the latest release lacks this; there are changes in mainline for Windows support, but I had trouble getting builds with openssl). I think the main thing with migrating to Savannah is that there are a lot of "developers" who would have commit access, where there's really only a couple people in there who are active developers. So you may want to prune that list (see who's actually in the changelog in the first place or something?) before using Savannah for repo access. Of course, git is already required (for maintainers, not developers) to update a local copy of gnulib to run gnulib-tool --update with: Wget uses gnulib, but checks in the results. I did this so I could control the stability of the gnulib we were using, and not have any surprising things change out from under me. -- Micah J. Cowan http://micah.cowan.name/
