Wait a minute. What's wrong with using svn for those who want to? I have some packages that I'd like to put into debian-science at some point, but I'm not about to learn the favourite vcs of the week to do so.
"favourite vcs of the week" -> ROFL ;-)
I definitely share your point about the pet VCSes that are growing all
over Free Software world one performing better as the other. On the other
hand according to my observation git gains some position inside Debian
to become something like _the_ VCS and thus I think we should try to
settle on a reasonable default. This could be supported by a well
written policy that contains step by step examples which might be a
good help for newcommers. If this is done I see using git more as a
chance to learn something new and valuable for my day to day work than
a nuisance to follow the habits of some geeks. So I havily relay on
a really good documentation what to do.
Kind regards
Andreas.
