LOL, I prefer git to anything else for that matter.  Tell me how to
clone your git repo and I'll send you git bundle files or whatever (or
if you can arrange to get me a publicly-accessible repo I can push to,
that's better).  I have a github account but it's not pure FOSS so I
guess you might refuse to consider it.

As for the project... unfortunately it may have some application to my
day job, and my employer might want it (employment contract makes
employer claim ownership of anything I make during term of employment
that appertains to (and a half-dozen other legalese) any products
tools (and a half-dozen other legalese) that the employer deals in).
So I'll see (in a month, maybe) what my employer says about making it
open - I prefer a GPL for it myself (it *might* be an important
advance in my day job, especially if I can keep it free as in
freedom), and might very well not make it at all if my employer
refuses to disclaim any copyright interest or FOSS it.  But at least
sweet-expressions get *something* as a side effect even if it doesn't
pan out (at the very least, I expect a 0.3 release of the spec from
our recent discussions).

Sincerely,
AmkG
