A relatively large number of people suggested that it would be easier for people to follow and submit patches if the repository used git, because that is a very common contribution mode for other large projects. The hope was (I believe) that this would let people slowly step-up into contributor/committers. I suspect its too early to see a real impact of that (theoretical) idea yet, but emacs is the only large project I still follow at this point, so that=E2=80=99s a raw guess. ~Chad
