Also, the comment about code review is also a point. Right now, CodeReview does not support Git, and really the implementation was never built with Git in mind. I think we could hack it in, but it wouldn't be pretty and if Git's the answer then I think we'll be leaving this tool in favor of something else (I and many others like Gerrit quite a bit).
To my mind, this is one of the most important points. We have built up a very comprehensive infrastructure for code review in SVN, and there is a lot of manhours behind that work; and just as many hours associated with setting up a replacement system for git. Who is going to put that infrastructure in place, in amongst all the many other priorities we have at the moment? Moving to a VCS which makes it "easier to review stuff" **in principle** is going to be of no use whatsoever if it sends the **practical implementation** of that review process back to the stone age.
