As long as there's a git repo alongside, I'm fine with that. However, I'd like to point out that my last year's work on improving BuildBot was a huge eye-opener w.r.t. DVCS:es and how well it fits Open Source development. It's been pretty amazing how easy it is to work on the real code base , have the core-devs pull and integrate things. The simple fact that what I do is real commits into the real code base (albeit only my personal repo) automatically makes me write higher quality code, and also I can attempt larger changes. (Incidentally, after a bunch of my changes got integrated, I was given commit rights to the main buildbot repo and are now checking and integrating other peoples changes/fixes, a few times/week.) Distributed source control makes much more sense than centralized systems like SVN, for everyone (except maybe companies that rely heavily on a centralized development model, i.e. not mine for sure!)
