As Omar said, it will be *more* productive for us to use Git going forward. The workflow model is already setup http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/<http://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/you>.
The disadvantage, which is small, is that those that don't know it will have to learn it (maybe a week or two)? Yes we can!
