+1 to migrate to a DVCS
Unless I'm mistaken no one has actually suggested doing that.
That's been talked about a few times here already. :)
There's some notes about potential git migration plans of action at: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Git_conversion
I know Avar's looked into it to various degrees, there may be some more notes sitting about. I'm definitely in favor of it getting done in some way, though there remain basic issues of what to do with extensions -- roll everything into a giant repo with core and all extensions, or do extensions separate but make it harder to maintain a full consistent versioned set?
I can definitely say that working with branching and merging in git is FANTASTIC -- especially for the ability to use source control as your workspace for in-progress patches, so you get the full benefits of versioning *and* sharing while still working on something.
