> I propose to request for a "native" git repository. I'd prefer to keep the SVN repo: 1) The project is inherently centralized and so I'm not sure what we'd gain by picking up a distributed RCS. 2) The SVN infrastructure is all in place and seemingly working fine. There's no indication that we're missing contributions because they refuse to play with our RCS (a la the recent kerfuffle around BZR kicked up by ESR). 3) We're all new enough at Apache that I'd like our infra/workflow to look as much like every other project as possible since that makes it easier to ask others for help.
If you're willing to wait for the initial checkout (which might be lengthy), you might find git-svn would let you connect to the SVN backend well enough to get your git cli fix. - Rhys
