+The things is, some translators are used to svn, so switching to git
+may not be easy for them.
+
+For dev, it can helps things, keeping unfinished stuff into branches

+

+On contrary, I think this one would be easier since mgarepo is
+supposed to hide svn though some packagers know they can
+use svn directly.
+
+&gt;<i> but it would be good to have more official and better exposed git
+</I>&gt;<i> repositories
+</I>
+other advantages are :
+
+- less used space on the server (disk usage exploded on the
+ server when switching from CVS to SVN) ;
+
+- also quite a lot less files on the server too (so less jobs for
+ saving &amp; fscking) since cvs used on file per checked file whereas
+ svn (as configured in mdv) is using one file per transaction in
+ big directories
+
+- full history is backuped locally at relatively little space cost
+ (providing git gc is run regularly at least when using git-svn)
+ for quite a lot project, disk usage is actually smaller than svn
+ that keep a copy of everything in .svn, thus doubling disk usage
+ whereas git compressed history can be smaller (not for the full
+ drakx history for the last 11+years though :-) )
+
+- quite a lot operations are faster (even if SVN was already an
+ improvement over SVN regarding this) due to local requesting
+ instead of network requests (eg: log, blame, ...)
+
+&gt;<i> where appropriate, automatic patch generation for some
+</I>&gt;<i> packages (for example I use one for the initscripts package and I need
+</I>&gt;<i> to be careful to add in patches from others to the &quot;official&quot; git
+</I>&gt;<i> repository for it).
+</I>
+At least this one should eventually die, shouldn't it :-) ?
