Now that RMS has dropped the bzr requirement, I propose we move to git.
ESR has graciously offered to be technical lead for such a migration.

Does anyone think we should stay on bzr, or choose a VCS other than git?

If there is significant support for a different system, then I guess we
should hold a poll.  But my (tentative) expectation is that there will
be a pretty clear overall group preference for git -- I'm mainly posting
this so there's a place for people to follow up to express their
preference, so we can quickly get a sense of whether moving to git is
the obvious call for the group as a whole, not just for those of us who
have been been expressing that preference for some time.
