I've have used "git svn" for SVN projects (including BibleTime) quite some time now. I
have also setup a few Git repositories for small (private) projects. I'm quite happy with
Git. I've also tried Mercurial (hg) and Bazaar (bzr). It must be noted that Git is also
more popular than the other two. It also takes me too many milliseconds to type "bzr"
correctly on the keyboard.

Personally, I have twice abandoned GitHub registration process because the terms of
service or the privacy policy. Currently, I can't remember what exactly I disagreed with.

Either way, as you might already know, we have a Git mirror of our SVN trunk already setup
under http://gitorious.org/bibletime where it would be quite easy to add a new
repositories and branches. So a simple solution would be just to create it there (project
descriptions etc are already there).

Currently, the project belongs to the http://gitorious.org/+bibletime-developers team,
where we can easily add new administrators and developers. Transferring ownership to
Martin would not be a problem, if necessary. However, having a single administrator might
pose a problem in some situations. And Thomas could administer the bibletime-translators
team :)

Setting up our own git repositories at bibletime.info would probably be a waste of time.

Blessings!
Jaak
