I think that if Tim likes git, then dropping arch (tla) in favour
of git would be big step forward - not as nice as if everyone could
agree on some just one SVM, but much better. At least Tailor would
allow simple two-way sync'ing between git and svn (and hg and darcs)
where as this is not possible with tla.
I use Tailor now to keep darcs and hg versions of build-improvements
branch in sync with Gaby's svn branch every night. Adding git to this
automatic interchange would be very simple.
I can add a paragraph in the Experiment section of AxiomSources for
git if you like.

Bill Page.
