I oppose the Idea of moving our software to a commercial platform (github) but I agree to the rest of your post. I always have a somewhat uncertain feeling about horribly breaking something when doing direct commits to osm2pgsql, as I know that there are people using its single existing trunk version for production systems. IMO the real problem is not about tools (git vs. svn) but rather about a missing concept of how the software is maintained. Git tends to enforce policy in our context only because we don't have software maintenance at all. Sven -- "Thinking of using NT for your critical apps? Isn't there enough suffering in the world?"
