I will back Joerg 100% on this. Look at the work that Joel Sherrill did on 
simulavr. He didn't complain about the type of revision control system. He just 
joined in in helping to move a project forward by providing patches, and doing 
the necessary work. Because of that, he was made a developer and admin of the 
project easily. There seems to be some of you more interested in using git, 
then in actual development. Who really cares about the type of revision control 
system that is being used? If git is required for this project then we would 
use it. As it stands, this project is so small that either CVS or SVN is 
sufficient for the project. One uses tools to do a job, not fit the job to the 
tools.

It requires more effort to work together as a group, especially as volunteers. 
Perhaps it's too much effort for some people that they just have to move 
elsewhere and make a fork.
