Why do you think that it is easier to contribute using git?
The other requests can be handled with svn too.
I have about three years experience with git. I've also used CVS,
BitKeeper, and Bazaar. I haven't used SVN, but followed its evaluation
at MySQL. In my mind, git wins hands down for a number of reasons:
* Git is fast, very fast.
* Every git repository clone is a full repository, making it superb
for teams to share a development tree that is periodically sync-ed
definitive master.
* Git branches allow individual developers to have a branch for each
active development piece, a team branch, the current product branch,
and the ability to switch branches for almost no cost. It is also
easy and cheap to back up any branch to a particular commit.
The only downside to git that I'm aware of is that finding the half
dozen commands for normal use among the 150 options available is a tad
daunting, but nothing that a well thought out cheat sheet can't handle.
The power of branches and repository hierarchies is enormous.
MySQL originally used BitKeeper, initially developed for Linux, but
taken closed source. Git was designed by Linus Torvalds as a faster,
more robust replacement.
I use git even for personal projects.
SVN is much better than CVS, but better than CVS is a really low bar.
