This is probably a stupid question, but doesn't SourceForge support

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.
I was talking to the author of FREEradius, and he suggested
bailing on subversion for git. He said the histories are
smaller and branch merging was easier. It was just better.
But I didn't have the time to learn a new CVS.
From the Git WEB Page: http://gitref.org/
This first thing that is important to understand about Git is that it
thinks about version control very differently than Subversion or
Perforce or whatever SCM you may be used to. It is often easier to
learn Git by trying to forget your assumptions about how version control
works and try to think about it in the Git way.
Now you guys are convincing me to think about again.
