The svn infrastructure we have now just works, and from the standpoint of having to manage ~200 websites, it's relatively simple. Replicating that functionality with Git is possible, but adds relatively little in terms of functionality. With the projects on folks plates right now, the contractors at least, won't have time to begin looking at this for at least 18 months. Volunteers could of course tackle this if wanted. --David
