An interesting article about how git and Maven can be used to

The top-level build.xml has a rule to update the svn build revision;
this number is monotomically increasing. A git based $revhash isn't, so
there's a little bit of information lost there. But I think that's minor.

Not a compelling reason to move to Maven or git but a nice addition to
OFBiz to make support and bug reporting a bit easier.
Also just a nice bit of reading if you enjoy reading about clever
programming.
