While git is a nice revision control system and I also work with it for stuff besides coreboot, I fear it does not play well with our current process. Our current committer base is rather small and that makes it easy to use subversion. A few nice advantages of subversion over git are: - easy merging with upstream without cluttering history with "merge xy" changesets - extremely fast checkout - low storage requirements - ability to have subtrees in different repositories. Some of these points might become git features sometime in the future (or already are), but right now I prefer subversion for coreboot.
