Well, Apache Bigtop is now _officially_ a CTR after a few months of
discussions within the community and a few months of trials. And yeah - we are
using git from day one. 

I don't think Git is particularly empowering RTC - there's nothing in it that
requires someone to look over one's shoulder. In Hadoop, HBase and some other
projects I've heard about the default review mode is via patch attached to a
JIRA ticket. And it has nothing to do with git or svn.
