Look guys, if you only read and consider any of my emails in their

1) I don't hate DVCS.
2) I believe git is the dominant opensource DVCS (nb: 'D') winner and
choice.
3) I have never said we WON'T switch to git at some time.
4) I have never said that SVN is superior to git.
5) I don't want anything to be 'closed' or 'hidden'.

The reason things aren't switching right now:
1) Contrary to popular belief, the project is not stagnant. You can
check the commit logs. I also currently have multiple working copies on
my personal box with code changes I am testing and improving before I
commit. I personally am still more comfortable in SVN than git-- in
both using daily and more importantly administrating. I make the
majority of the commits to the repository, second probably Chris, then
probably DM, and then likely GHellings after that (sorry if I've gotten
the order wrong). Only one of these people is pushing for changing the
central repository to git (GHellings).
Based on ohloh's statistics, Sword development exhibits "Moderate
activity", which puts us in the top 3.8%-1.2% of projects they track.
Top committers (in the sword repository ONLY--which is not necessarily a
representative statistic for everyone), who are still active in the last
12 months are, in order: Troy, me, Greg, Manfred, DM, & Peter.

FWIW, I do in fact support a move to git. I'm just not religious about
it. I see it as inevitable. I see it as a positive move for CrossWire. I
don't personally like *using* git all that much, but that's largely
because I use it seldom & don't know it all that well. But I'll
learn--all of us who don't know git that well will learn.
