Like Adrian and mostly for the same reasons, I don't believe we need Git.
But there is one other major reason which has already been discussed in the other common ASF MLs. As Taher exulted, it's possible to create local
branches. So people are able to do a lot of work alone without exchanging before committing or submitting. It will certainly not help to have this
possibility. Remember our recent discussion on the lack or core commits reviews. With Git you end with commits bursts or big patches and it's then
hard to review and too late to share ideas.
So unlike Adrian, I'm even strongly against it. I will not hesitate to use a -1
if necessary!

Personally, I find Git to be an overly complicated solution to a simple problem. It frequently does bizarre things that no one understands, and you
are left with things being mysteriously reverted for unknown reasons.
This isn't a -1 vote though. I'm just making it clear that I will be dragged
kicking and screaming into using it.

As discussed at apachecon in Austin, i propose to switch from svn to git
for the ofbiz repository. The main reason being that all major
contributors are using git and contributions are cumbersome, further,
git allows for better branching and merging.
