There were some projects which moved to GIT.
But after a short while they are now all DEAD! This has nothing to do with GIT itself (which I love), but with the missing 'ownership'. It's totally easy on github to just fork a project and fix your bug there - fully agree! But what about merging this stuff back? Well, this just does not happen most of the time. And this is the reason why I still love to have those projects over here at codehaus, eclipse or apache. Mostly because all people then know where to get the origin from. Again, this has nothing to do with GIT vs SVN. It just has to do with having some 'cannonical' source or not.
