@Peter github makes collaboration quite painless. Users can manage their own

I like git because of its features. And when I don't need those
features, I prefer svn because of its simplicity. Where is the pain?
The last time I tried, merging multiple version in svn is a huge pain. One
of the advantages of DVCS is that branching and merging are easy.
What would be the benefit when moving to github?
Github seems to be the most popular DVCS hosting site at the moment. For
manuals, I think that Github is particularly useful because you can click
on edit and make the change. Github automatically creates a fork, a new
branch, and pull request for you. So the technical barrier to
participation is low.

(On the other hand, if you sent me some bitcoins, I would be glad to
copy contextman to github. ;)

Using this is usually as simple as
svn2git http://svn.example.com/path/to/repo
