Hey Trond,

I'm excited for the change over to git.  What were the factors in the
decision?  I've noticed a lot of  open source projects that are on CVS or
svn generally pick one distributed system and stick to it.  I'm curious as
to what drove the move from one distributed scm to another.

In any case, I'm really looking forward to following OpenGrok on github now.
