Because you didn't want to wait to create your own Git clone from a
Subversion repository? (Actually it doesn't take that long as Gradle is
a very small repository -- the real problems come when trying to clone
things in the Apache repository.)
When I started my campaign to get Groovy and Gradle to use DVCS and away
from CVCS (aka Subversion) Codehaus indicated that Git was their
favoured system but that they would look at Bazaar, so I took
clone/branch with both. I prefer the Bazaar model, and I think I prefer
Mercurial over Git.
Since then Grails has followed Ruby on Rails into the Git-verse, as, in
fact, has Codehaus. On the other hand Bazaar has incorporated
Subversion into DVCS so now there is no need to be anti-Subversion if
you want to use DVCS.
So Gant is now a Bazaar managed project where the Subversion repository
is a peer. Groovy and Gradle appear to be heading towards using Git --
which whilst superior to Subversion, is inferior to Bazaar in my view.
