Yes, I think that the consensus is also that we should switch to git
(even for existing packages). With the mr-based workflow, it's not more
difficult to work with it than with svn.

Yes, even if it's not absolulely necessary to do it every time you add a
package, since there's a 'make-mrconfig' script that does the right
thing.
