Do we want it?
Can people proposing the conversion also come up with the precommit hooks etc. scripts we'll need? I'd think we want to enforce linear history (and stress that every commit should be bootstrappable, with git it is much easier to screw that up by pushing many git commits at once, even with rebase actually not testing each of them). And something to keep the numeric commit numbers working for http://gcc.gnu.org/rNNNNNN (I believe a roughly working scheme has been identified, but not implemented). Jakub
