We've been through this a number of times for both PAPT and DPMT.  We want a 
common repository for each team (not split between different VCSs).  There's 
been discussion about what would be needed to migrate from SVN to something 
else and about what work would need to be done to do that.  So far no one has 
done the work.

The shorter answer is that there are no PAPT maintained git repositories 
because the team uses svn.
