Hello,

this is just something that went through my mind yesterday while working
on the third patch on the same files and without a chance to commit
between the patches. If there is one thing that I don't like (although
I do it sometimes) is to do a commit that does several things at once.
With git, I could commit each patch (which is done locally) and eventually
push all commits to the central repository while maintaing the indivitual
character of the commits.
I don't like git very much, but that's what various projects I'm tracking
use, so that's why I propose the use of git. Also - if I'm not mistaken -
some people seem to use tortoise and that tool seems to have git support.

Hi,

I really like the idea and I wanted to propose git, too.
It would be much easier to follow changes in the stable/oldstable branches and this is something I need, since I started to maintain the official Debian packages.

Cheers,
Balint
