Smartgit is a non-starter for me. It's proprietary, it's a GUI, and I
don't think it's worth the effort to sync back and forth between git and
svn to be honest. I'm not really keen to use git as long as it's just an
svn mirror.

However, we could discuss the possibility of moving the git repo to an
organization, doing a last sync off svn, and switching completely to git
for the project.

I'm not a big fan of git personally, I use mercurial for all my (new)
projects, which I find much easier to use (and actually much closer to
svn, interface-wise). But I do like github, and there is an hg-git
extension for mercurial which allows pushing/pulling to/from git repos,
which I'm using for my github-hosted projects currently. So I guess I'm
ok with such a move.

Btw, I have a feeling that John F. might not like the idea of switching
to git/github :)
