It's not true. SF has git, bazaar, mercurial and CVS (and svn of course).

The only issue was that trac integrates only with subversion, so if we
move to git we'll loose
- changesets on the timeline (and the rss feed)
- ability to link to changesets from wiki and ticket comments

There is a trac plugin that enables git integration but it's not
installed in the SF trac.

This has been requested, and they might do it if it's popular:

https://sourceforge.net/apps/ideatorrent/sourceforge/ideatorrent/idea/41/

All of these questions have been discussed in the thread "[Xesam]
oscaf/xesam ontology merge: who is going to maintain/edit what?"

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xesam/2009-June/thread.html

That thread was long and confusing though

If this is what everyone wants then
- i can enable the git repo
- and import the current trunk
- and disable svn
- and ask everyone here to campaign for the git integration to be
enabled (vote and tell others to vote on ideatorrent)

Just thought this discussion was finished,

All kinds of comments welcome.
