Different open-source projects operate differently. Git was
designed (presumably) to support the model used by the Linux
kernel. That model is quite different than Apache's. I don't think
we yet know if and how Git fits into Apache's model. That's the
issue I'd like to focus on here, for Thrift.
One might argue that the Linux kernel development model is a better
model, but, unfortunately, that won't work here, since Apache is, to
a large degree, defined by its community-based development model.
Git actually supports pretty much any model, including subversion's.
Sure it's primarily used in the linux model, but that's only because
that model works pretty well for a lot of projects. If you want to
send patches around, or give a core set of "committers" push access to
the same centralized repo, or whatever you want, git will support it.
