> We?ve been talking about the transition for about 5 years now. So far, only people interested in git have showed up to do any work at all. Subversion has lost, and even Apache, the main users of it, are moving to git. We started early in the year with the firm plans and have been working on it since then. These conversations have happened all over the place, and we?ve been posting to developers for months now...

To the contrary 5 years ago the project on _at_developers basically 
ran off one of the committers over the very idea of using git
for the project.  It was shortly after I returned, so I find it
very ironic that now its all "git git git and we being heading
to this for 5 years...."

Would you expect those opposed to this idea to help with it? Really?
