If you are currently using Subversion then there is masses to be gained
by moving to Git in line with the rest of the D development effort.

I guess GCC itself is still Subversion?

Bazaar is a GNU project, and this tipped the balance such that Emacs was
pushed to shift from Subversion to Bazaar.   The change caused a lot of
heated aggravation between the Bazaar, Mercurial and Git advocates.
Normal then ;-)

I don't know which direction the GCC crew would go, but I guess GDC
needs to ensure it is compatible -- though Git, Mercurial and Bazaar can
always work with a Subversion repository, Bazaar in a much smoother DVCS
way that the other two.

Or they might say "about forking time" ;-)
