We're having a discussion (again :-) ) about moving OMPI to a DVCS.

The short conclusion of the long conversation is: the OMPI dev community would 
be much more comfortable moving to a DVCS if they could see some success with 
other OMPI projects (e.g., hwloc and/or MTT).

Would hwloc be interested in moving to git?  This would mean:

1. converting the existing svn to git
   --> including all historical log messages that refer to "rXXXX"
2. converting the existing trac to git
   --> including all trac tickets, comments, and wiki pages that refer to 
"rXXXX"

The OMPI devs -- who are mostly unfamiliar with git -- would like to see some 
close-to-home successes with git over a period of time that don't require heavy 
administrative maintenance over time (one of the pushback issues was that some 
organizations have hired full-time people to maintain/fix git repositories when 
they break/become unusable).

Interested?
