I think switching to git makes sense. The source tree as it is, with the
"tags" and "trunk" directories, is fairly easy to navigate but maybe
redundant? Long term, git will probably make merging patch sets from
various distros easier.

Plus, once we have an official git upstream I should be able to simply
import my branch for people to test.
