Just to add some data to this - git works great on the Mac, or any Unix, but I believe it's never going to fly (if you'll pardon the expression) on Windows, due to technical limitations there - git works great with the current setup (read-only repo mirrored from CVS). For local development, if you can, and want to use it, it's pretty nice (I think Melchior has said the same thing) - I'd be quite happy using git's patch submission features to flood people's inboxes with patches :) Although the round-trip delay from creating the patch to it being applied to CVS to getting mirroed to the git repo is pretty long. - I'd also be quite happy publishing a public tree for someone with CVS access to pull / cherry-pick from, and I assume any other 'heavy' git user would similarly be happy publishing their tree. My gut feeling is there should be a 'quick' migration to SVN for data and code, since CVS is just so dreadful - and the migration process is standard, and so are the tools (eg TortoiseSVN on windows is great). Deciding whether the primary code repos should then be git or svn is a more complex debate, but it feels like we'll always need both - git is too complex for some people, even if they're not on Windows.
