Hi Thomas, I missed your email, but thanks for your support :) You have a good point about Redmine and search engines - another reason not to change. Do you already know about migrating SVN repos to git? I understand that you can just use git-svn clone http://svn/repo/here/trunk, then git push to GitHub, to keep all history. Is it that simple?
