My impression is that SVN+trac is working pretty well. My experience  
with git has been everything but positive; maybe because I _still_  
haven't found that simple, elegant reference that explains it well,  
but I'm just not a fan. Plus it would be nice to keep the same model  
as the existing repo so that the checkout and build process is as easy.

Just my 7c :).
