I wish folks would pick one SCM and stick with it. =A0Porting the SCM to AIX just so I can check out some project is a pain. =A0There seems to be at least a half dozen SCMs right now. =A0They all do exactly the same
thing. =A0Why are so many people recreating the exact same wheel? =A0The current nightmare of SCMs makes me dream of the old days when everyone
used SVN.

Any chance GNU could pick git or the git folks pick

SVN was not too bad for that, it could be used as a backend and then an= yone could work with git/svn whatever.
But it's surely not the optim= al path.
