Hi,

I have been very happy with Git, and have converted almost all of my
dozens of darcs repos to Git by this point.

I'd like to echo my support for git too. This is the tool that most of Debian seems to be moving towards, and while teams are of course free to choose a different one if they so please, I would personally appreciate not having to learn yet another packaging workflow when I already know svn/git and they are both serving me just fine.

We can use DEHS if we have good watch files to keep track of our upstream version synchronisation, which is the major benefit of the PET IMO. I don't know that PET works for anything other than svn, anyway?

I don't have a good answer to the forwarding patches problem, except to suggest that it would be prudent to have a separate copy of the upstream repo and to darcs send from that anyway. This mean that you can't cherry-pick, but I don't think it's such a big deal.

Regards,
Iain
