This sounds dangerously close to choosing the colour of a bike shed, but for what it's worth the only reason gnome-packagekit is not is in gnome SVN is that I need git. SVN is like marijuana -- pretty addictive, but git is like heroin. You really can't live without heroin when you've got hooked. I've tried bazaar, but it was too slow, and I had already had to learn one DVCS for freedesktop and the kernel. Even if git is technically inferior we should choose git just because these two big super-projects have already given it the blessing and my tiny brain can't remember all the commands for two different systems. So, if you migrate to git, +1 from me. If you migrate to something that isn't git, you better have a pretty compelling argument.
