SVN allows for a local branching? Believing git only allows this was
the main reason for my recent switch. Are commit privileges not
necessary for the creation of such an svn branch as is the case with
git?
No, clearly Git allows more than Svn (both cases above for instance), but it
does not mean that its the solution for OFBiz
Note that you have also OFBiz at https://github.com/apache/ofbiz if you need
local branching...

If we only want GIT for multiple local development branches, then we are
doing for the wrong reasons. SVN doesn't hinder you in doing that today.

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!

I don't agree that "all major contributors are using git."
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.
