+1 from me.

I have been using git for quite some time now and am particularly happy
with it (well I was also happy when I switched from SCCS to RCS to CVS
to SVN, and will probably also like what the next generation will bring
after Git).

One drawback, though, is that it needs some time to get used to it. We
should really have a large number of committers in favor of such a
change to do it. Just in order to have a rough idea, how many of us
already use Git, how many don't use it but would like to give it a try,
and how many don't want it?


I'm not sure if we could switch only some components first and the other
ones later on. As we already have a specific layout with two layers
(proper/sandbox/dormant) and then all the components, it may need some
tricks and help from infra.
