This may be the nail in the coffin, at least for now, but +0, needs more
discussion/planning. I've been using git-svn for longer than most with
ofbiz, and would really love it if we were already using git, but it's
just too soon.
Just because git is decentralized, doesn't mean that there is no longer
a center. *Someone* has to be pulling/merging all the branches, and who
would step up to that plate? Who would want to take on the mantel? I
don't think we as a community are ready to require that of someone.
Of course, we need to start planning for this eventuality, imho, but we
are still a long ways off.
ps: I, and others, will continue to use git in our upstream svn
interactions, as that seems to work well enough
pps: as per Adrian's vote call, there is nothing actionable here.

As the discussions seem to end, can i propose a vote?
The question : should we convert the master SVN repository of Apache
OFBIz to a GIT version?

-0.5: 'I don't like this idea, but I can't find any rational
justification for my feelings.'
*
++1: 'Wow! I like this! Let's /do/ it!'
*
-0.9: 'I /really/ don't like this, but I'm not going to stand in the
way if everyone else wants to go ahead with it.'
*
+0.9: 'This is a cool idea and i like it, but I don't have time/the
skills necessary to help out.'
* -1 'I do not want this.'
Votes will be possible for one week from today.

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.
