as it was explained long time ago when I proposed the same and were rejected 
we will also need to change our scripts so that they will be able to work 
without subversion, to make a package.

* the svn release is used as the MICRO release number
* the changelog is created dynamically from svn log
* the development tracks svn changelog numbers to keep track of merges from 
  trunk, since svn is limited to do so automatically (until recently), but
  this last one is something that git would to automatically and will only 
  reflect maybe in the way we do integrations and how they get "approved"

using git allows for a much more dynamic development, specially since there
are already significant codebases that are being maintained in parallel and
using svn, limits how easily they could be integrated back.

in that same line, it would be a good idea, most likely, to allow for some 
time for that people which had already diverged trees using svn to either 
got those changes integrated in there, or move them to their own trees using 
git, and so during that period, keeping both trees on sync somehow would 
be needed.
