I'm not here to complain about the VCS you choose to use, but I am interested to know why this change is happening. I may be reading too much into your wording but it sounds like you're not moving *towards* Git, but *away* from Subversion. I've used Subversion for a long time and always got on pretty well with it so I'd be fascinated to know what it is which makes it so abhorrent in the eyes of the core Netsurf developers. Can you point me at the discussion where this decision was made? And why Git in particular. Clearly it's growing in popularity but there are lots of other options. I'm guessing that the fact that it is distributed is relevant but why not Arch, Mercurial, DARCS, Bazaar or even SVK? -- (\/)atthew
