Infra@Apache can set up a read only git mirror (automatically updated) if we request one.
More info here http://www.apache.org/dev/git.html http://git.apache.org/ I haven't used git much, but I really like what I have seen it and it certainly seems to be getting more and more popular. For instance, Google Code finally added git support last month after a long period of just SVN & Mercurial.
