Although I would like the transition to occur soon, it might make sense 
to let the numpy people do it first so that we can take maximum 
advantage of their systematic approach.  I don't know how much of a 
delay that would entail, but it might provide us with a nice ready-made 
set of instructions, saving us from some thrashing around.

If Mike or Andrew or anyone else proficient in svn and git has the time 
to make the jump earlier, though, I wouldn't object.  I can't help much, 
if at all, with the transition myself, and I will need some simple 
recipes (very mpl-specific, like the present instructions for taming the 
svnmerge monster) for the git workflow.  I understand the basic ideas, 
and work routinely with mercurial, but git will take some practice.  (It 
is possible that I will be able to use hggit, but usually there are 
gotchas with such translation interfaces, and using the native system 
ends up being the better course of action.)
