Indeed there are lots of possibilities http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracLinks
These let us completely decouple the data/documentation we produce from the 
hosting location.

Git would be very convenient to sync ontologies in gnome and kde repositories 
and exchange translation patches between them. Of course this is on top of the 
flexibility of git in general.

Voted.

If you don't expect integration eg if we used fdo bugzilla, then all that's 
needed is git hosting.

Unless you're a windows user, git works very well, has a gui so that you can 
see how you managed to delete a commit or damage your private branch.

But once you figure it out, the only thing you'd think when seeing another SVN 
repo would be "oh at least there's git-svn plugin" or something ;)

So we can go with SF+svn and hope we'll be able to switch to git shortly or we 
can try setting up trac on xesam.org... fdo.org, I doubt it, but maybe someone 
else knows better.
