Fine, but myself and the couple of other people who want to work on this
don't have commit access to a branch on svn, so one of the many features of
Git is it allows us to easily setup a repository, and branches, while
tracking the Wicket repo, allowing us to collaborate much more effectively
than exchanging patch files.

Having a branch what we could commit to on the apache wicket svn would
alleviate a lot of those issues, but that's probably not going to happen.

I'm not going to hi-jack this thread, but there are multitudes of reasons
why Git > SVN.

I'm kind of surprised by your comments Jonathan as the person who started
Wicket after all :)
