As a side note, I do not want to start a flame war, but I would like

It's OK with me.
I always wanted to know more about git, but was too lazy.
If perl-ldap switches to git, I have a real incentive to
get myself acquainted wit git.
Will this change also affect the other modules Auth::SASL,
Convert::ASN1, ...?
Yes, when I make the switch, it will likely be all my repositories.
There are still a few things to sort out though, so it may be a while
before I switch.
For one, the git protocol has no authentication. So I either need to
create accounts for all users you have permissions to update the
repository. Or change my model to be like that of the git project.
The model they, and many others use, is that a contributor either has
a repository they make accessible that the lead person pulls patches
from or they mail patches which the lead person applies. Git has a
method for mailing patches but still preserving the contributor when
applied.
