What I remember is:

- Moving to a distributed revision control system was widely considered an
  useful move.

- The consensus mostly settled on Git.

- There was a long phase of discussions about the practical problems. A lot
  of work was done by Janne Grau.

- Alex Converse (*) reported that Janne Grau (*) offered to temporarily host
  the Git repository on videolan.org, as they already have a reliable Git
  infrastructure.

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.ffmpeg.devel/120081/focus=120120

- A lot of people answered to support that idea, some of them with
  enthusiasm. Among them were Martin Storsjö (#), Jason Garrett-Glaser (*),
  Ronald S. Bultje (*), Luca Barbato (*). Michael did not intervene in this
  thread.


(*) Committer of the "new team".

(#) Undersigned the "new team" announce.
