I chose to support >bzr because it was still a contender at the time. Now that RMS has dropped the bzr requirement, I propose we move to git. ESR has graciously offered to be technical lead for such a migration. Does anyone think we should stay on bzr, or choose a VCS other than git? If there is significant support for a different system, then I guess we should hold a poll. But my (tentative) expectation is that there will be a pretty clear overall group preference for git -- I'm mainly posting this so there's a place for people to follow up to express their preference, so we can quickly get a sense of whether moving to git is the obvious call for the group as a whole, not just for those of us who have been been expressing that preference for some time. -Karl
