Hi! We use git in DeltaSpike. The question is how much benefit it would bring for Isis.
Git is really nice for some use cases but not so nice for others. E.g. no native line-ending conversion support, no binary support, etc I've written up a comparison here: http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/SVNvsGIT http://wiki.apache.org/couchdb/Git_At_Apache_Guide It's quite some work and a few things like Jira commit tracking still doesn't work.
