Git has a few advantages. It's easier to get rid of unwandted commits
(e.g. we had a large video file in the bitbucket repository which
probably cannot be removed without recreating the repository on
bitbucket which would invalidate the forks), it's easier to "compose"
commits, create small feature branches and to solve the "tangled workdir
problem" (see http://tomayko.com/writings/the-thing-about-git), and most
of all, it's also used by the Pylons project. We want to make
cooperation with the Pylons team as easy as possible, so we should use
the same tools.
