Second, it is already feasible to work with modern VCSes against the existing SVN repository: I've been doing it with bzr for literally years now; I know of lots of documentation on using git against SVN as well. Of course, Github is more than a VCS, but its main advantage over other solutions lies in being able to accept casual contributions from non-core developers, which is hardly in scope for the early phases of the Zope4 effort.
github enables a peer review process: while everybody who signed the plone committer agreement could just commit to the plone repo, we do pull-requests and somebody else with commit rights checks the request and merges. It's not about git locally - I'm doing that for years, too - it's about git server side. florian -- Florian Friesdorf <flo@chaoflow.net> GPG FPR: 7A13 5EEE 1421 9FC2 108D BAAF 38F8 99A3 0C45 F083 Jabber/XMPP: flo@chaoflow.net IRC: chaoflow on freenode,ircnet,blafasel,OFTC
