I think it primarily depends on how you're planning to manage the development. If you intend to keep a centralized management of the repository, keeping track of all the committers and branches, svn is probably the best choice, and people who like git can always use git-svn, additionally one could keep a git repository hosted somewhere that was frequently sync-ed with the svn repo. On the other hand, if you'd like to make it have a more loose management, you should probably use git, which would allow branches to be hosted anywhere developers want and you would only manage the "official" branch of the code and the release branches as well. As a more incisive comment, I personally experienced bad merge behavior in svn several times, while git has positively surprised me several times.. daniel
