GNOME to migrate to git

The GNOME project has announced plans to switch to the GIT distributed version control system. "The GNOME Release Team would like to announce that git will be the new Version Control System (VCS) for GNOME. In our opinion, the decision reflects the opinion of the majority of our active contributors. In December 2008, Behdad Esfahbod organized the GNOME DVCS (Distributed Version Control System) Survey on behalf of the GNOME Foundation board of directors, Release Team, and Sysadmin Team with the aim of better understanding familiarity and preferences of our active contributor base regarding the future VCS for GNOME. The survey results, released in January 2009, show that git is by far the preferred DVCS for the majority of our active contributors - the main users of GNOME infrastructure."
