git does run under osx and cygwin ... i also read about a port for
mingw ...

svn tracks content, git tracks changes. unlike svn or cvs, both
branching and merging is trivial ...
e.g. if you are implementing a feature x in your local branch, you are
able to work on it, but you can keep it in sync with my HEAD ...

merging devel_0_38 to devel_0_39 with git would probably have taken
about two hours instead of two days with cvs ... for a serial
development, svn is fine ... but for working with branches in parallel,
it is really broken ...

i wouldn't think of a change, if i were not convinced of a benefit :)

cheers, tim
