Naaaaah. I don't think so. You see, in my view the issue between GIT and
SVN is more a clash of cultures and religions than one that's backed by
scientific facts. ;-)

For day to day code maintenance tasks I'm perfectly happy with
Subversion. It has everything we need and the handling is
straightforward. Likewise, all our tools and helper scripts are based on
SVN. Rewriting them all for GIT and not getting one yota more of useful
functionality is simply a waste of time. Sure, I can see how GIT may
aide larger projects where you have many code maintainers working on
code simultaneously. GIT seems to handle this a little better than SVN,
but that's a thing we don't really need either.

Likewise: I'm perfectly happy with us running our code repository
ourselves instead of handing it off to an anonymous organization for
which we'd only be another (small) brick in the wall.
