If you want git access, we have that already (both read and write!), so the only reason for moving the base repo to git would be to use a bug tracker that interfaces with git, or to use github. The *only* thing git can't be used for when contributing with Twisted is releases, due to Twisted's non-standard release branch structure. Everything else is using `git svn dcommit` instead of `git push`. There is no other reason to do a base repo switch other than "svn is scary" or "I don't like svn". - -hawkowl > > Git has svn support - see `git svn`.
