For similar reasons, I think that Lucene and Solr should eventually
move to Git. It's not GitHub, but it's a lot closer. The new Apache

don't know that there is a big hurry right now, but I think it's
inevitable that we should switch.

I can't make any cogent arguments about whether git is superior to
subversion at the basic job of version control, whether it produces
better workflows, or any similar argument. Generally speaking, I do
think it's a good idea for projects like Apache to eat their own
dogfood, which currently we do because we use subversion.
That said, I do have to agree with ESR's general conclusion that git has
won the current mindshare war. Open source projects are flocking to it
en masse, and it's not just the little guys. I don't think that would
happen if there weren't a good reason.
We're even using it in-house at work. My Solr install on Linux consists
of two git repositories - one for configs (the solr home) and one for
binaries.
For people like me who are relatively new to version control, there's
little difference from one system to another. For others, there is a
wealth of documentation and quick HOWTO information available.
Thanks,
Shawn
