A "silent" question here. Justin gave me a crash course in git and it seems that git is superior to svn. I really start liking it.
On the other side, working with git and an svn repository seems to be complicated. With geotools 8 and geoserver 2.2 we switch to SDK6, why not switching to a git repository with these upcoming versions ?
