I'm +0.9995 for git: some bits I like, some bits I don't (it's awful for
binary data). And you need more than just a release process locked down,
you need the developers understanding following a good process. If you
have written down process docs there, I'd love to see them.
apache infrastructure are discussing git -what would be best would be to
start with a non-critical project, such as one or more of the moved
contrib projects (like MR-Unit), so we can see that it, gerrit, etc work
well within the Hadoop developer world.
