Just some more info about git/svn and codehaus hosting.
So there isn't really a nice way to migrate slowly and automatically.
Why would I like native git?
*Easy for external folks to fork and make their stuff available (through
github for instance).
*Blistering fast checkouts and updates.
*Local/offline commits
But if there isn't a big YES for this it's not a problem for me to stick
to svn (and I can use git as a client).

We don't currently have anything setup like that.
What we do currently have is the ability to create you a second
repository using Git, synchronisation is a "user problem".
There is also a capacity issue with large repositories keeping
multiple copies of the same data. If your repository is small - it
isn't a problem. However we have discovered some projects checking in
6G of JARs.
It is unlikely we'd be able to get any auto-sync stuff in place before
the new year; and I'm not really a big fan of Subversion anyway - it's
slow and clunky - so I don't want to encourage it.
The next task is for us to upgrade Subversion - a particularly large
undertaking due to the number of repositories that need to be
upgraded.
Cheers,
Ben
