Personally, I'd rather stay with SVN, just because I get no advantage out of 
using git. But
I don't have a good excuse why I can't make the switch, so I don't really 
care. If someone
doesn't want to switch though, well we have to consider that and Evert is 
import especially
on OS X where nobody else really knows what they're doing. However, if SVN 
is so slow
that it's taking Peter an hour to do a 2 minute job, then we have to 
consider the option. Mark
me down as a "either way, I don't care".
