I don't have anything against git. I have never used it.

But from point of view of good coordination between members of the
team, I think svn serves us well. Hence I don't see any immediate need
to migrate to git.
Also considering very low number of active developers, I don't believe
git will have any advantage over svn. Rather I feel that git may
fragment the team.

Just my two <your_favorite_currency>. :-)
