I say we should go for git. It would safeguard us from possible future
problems with savannah as we can easily switch between different git
mirrors. Additionally the main argument not to switch to git was that
it doesn't give much benefit considering the effort. Now when it's
more effort to have a complete svn rather than git I think git is
better solution
