Yes but given their absolutely horrible decision to stick with SVN all these 
years I cannot trust their decision to go with GIT. Sadly this is a very big 
argument for NOT switching PETSc to GIT. This email is only partly in jest, it 
has a serious component as well: is the "everyone's switching to git" just a 
case of the sheeple following the latest new thing without a proper technical 
evaluation or is it a carefully thought out decision?
