svn is centralized ;)

Well the kernel is quite large but doesn't use that many different
things, so it heavily depends on what you do.

Well it works, no question on that. But there's still room for
enhancements ;)

I've talked to a friend of mine recently. He's a FreeBSD dev and he said
they tried git for their ports tree (which is basically the same what
we're talking about) and it was more or less a big pain for multiple
reasons.
He said he'd personally take svn after that experience.
