I too challenge the assertion that there is consensus for this change. I also agree with Sebb's characterisation of this being "bulldozed through". I have no objection to a switch to git for those components where there is consensus to do so amongst the active developers. I continue to strongly recommend that a single component volunteers to be the svn->git guinea pig for Commons and that we allow that component to work out any issues that crop up before any mass switch starts. If there are no issues, great. If there are issues, better to have to deal with one set of them rather than 40+ sets. Further, if the consensus amongst the active developers on a component is that they wish to stick to svn, I see no why that component should be forced to switch to git.
