At this point it's clear that moving from CVS to SVN for PHP has become a

it's faster and better on my opinion (why wasting time to convert
later from svn to git )

We have 1000+ people with commit access, many of whom are not very technical. We need something with mature Windows tools for those folks and something that isn't completely different to their way of working.

The git and hg integration with svn is also good so any developer who prefers to have a local repository can very easily use either git or hg and easily merge into the central svn repository.

We don't need to be on the bleeding edge of revision control systems. In fact, I prefer to very much be a very very slow follower in that particular area to make sure that all tools are extremely mature by the time we go anywhere near them. The last thing we want to do is slow down PHP development any further by forcing people to fight with a bleeding edge set of tools.

When a winner eventually emerges in the de-centralized revision control world and everyone creates tools for all the various platforms, we'll have a look, but I predict that to be years away.
