Hey all, Very much in favor of this idea! Moving to GIT will make contribution as a non-core developer much easier using pull-requests. If we hope to involve more developers, this will help for sure.
I also think it's a good idea to host at either BitBucket or GitHub. The web UI helps a lot in managing contributions in a public way. Both work well and integrate well with the Atlassian tool stack, but because Atlassian owns BitBucket this might be the best choice. Public repositories are unlimited and free. When doing this we should also decide if Amdatu sub projects all have their own separate repository, or do we have one large repository? If sub projects are released independently of core it might make sense to separate them.

The merits of distributed version control, and Git in particular, have been informally discussed quite often, and I guess most of us agree that there is a benefit to using them. If someone disagrees with that, please speak up! My proposal therefore would be to move Amdatu to Git, and given the fact that we use the Atlassian toolchain, it probably makes the most sense to use Bitbucket (which was acquired by Altassian some time ago) because it offers us the best integration with the rest of their toolchain (integrating with JIRA [1], Bamboo [2] and Confluence [3]). For working with Git, on the Mac there are a couple of great tools as well. SourceTree [4] is free and works great, and a lot of people seem to be using Tower [5] or Github for Mac [6] as well (for more background, see this extensive thread at StackOverflow [7], which seems to favor SourceTree). I have no experience with similar tooling for Windows, but Tortoise always seems a popular choice for CVS and SVN and they do have a version that supports Git [8] as well and this page [9] discusses other options. WDYT?
