We already agreed on the fact that we want to switch to git.  The
problem is just *when* (Michael requested to do it after the GSoC, so
I presume it will be after the 24 of August), and *who* (Mans
volunteered to do it if I'm not wrong).

As for me I'd prefer to do it as soon as possible (e.g. in a month or
so), most devs and soc students seem to be working with git already.

Regards.
