Walter, if you do make the move to git (or in generally switch DVCSes),  
please make it so that the backend is not in the same repository in the  
frontend. Since the backend has severe redistribution restrictions, the  
compiler repository can't be simply forked and published.

FWIW I'm quite in favor of a switch to git (even better if you choose  
GitHub, as was discussed in another thread). I had to go through great  
lengths to set up a private git mirror of the dmd repository, as dsource  
kept dropping my git-svnimport connections, and it took forever.
