If switching webkit to git makes it easier to import webkit code into 
perforce ( and export changes from perforce ), then that alone would justify 
the change from my team's point of view.

* Last but not least: Internally in Trolltech a lot of developers are currently 
using git on top of perforce¹. Every single developer that has tried git and 
come over the initial learning curve loves it and doesn't want to move back to 
perforce. The only thing they complain is that we currently still have perforce 
underneath.

Cheers,
Lars

¹ Just a note on perforce: it's similar in many ways to svn by being a 
centralized VCS. The main difference is that perforce has decent support for 
branching and merging branches. In addition git-p4 is a lot faster and more 
convenient than git-svn (it includes e.g. all our branches).
