I have no strong feelings on this.

While I find the basic git model unintuitive, that's largely counteracted by 
gui tools like SourceTree.app ... so on balance I find it similarly usable to 
svn.
I don't think it has any real technical benefits for a small community ... but 
if potential new developers are more familiar with it, a move might help make 
them feel more at home (and of course we need new developers).

Do we have support for git in gnustep-make?  If not, I'd like to see that added 
as part of a move:  I'm thinking of the git equivalent of

make svn-tag
make svn-dist

as those are very handy when making a release (occasionally) and

make svn-snapshot

which I use quite frequently for distributing test/bugfix code to different 
systems/people.
