And the Seam guys and a few others got pretty much stuck because the 
granularity level needs to be up front if you move to GIT.

GIT is cool, but it is not as modular as SVN. git-submodules are still a farce 
and there is nothing else which allows modularisation.

Don't get me wrong, I really like GIT (otherwise I would not have written the 
maven SCM provider for it) and it really fits pretty good for some kind of 
projects (we use it over at Apache DeltaSpike for example). But I think it 
would not be a good fit for Maven as it doesn't support modularity as well as 
SVN does.
