I can see that Git is popular and perhaps more versatile. My personal 
concern is having to learn new ways of doing things, but this is not a 
good reason for objecting.

> I'd want to do a very careful migration, since preserving usernames,
branches, and tags are highly important. That means it might be a few
weeks before I have the free time to do that. If people are OK with
June ~15, we can set that as a Git migration date.

There are issues with the Windows build, new and parked from the last 
release, which need sorting out. There are a lot of patches to be worked 
through. I would also like to add the format to access to the NIST 
resolver, but the build on this will probably not be straightforward. 
I've got commitments on another project in the next two weeks. Could the 
target date for a 2.3.2 release be put back to June 29, with the Git 
migration after that?
