My point was that git certainly isn't the exotic curiosity you try to paint it 
as.  It's way beyond critical mass and I'd wager at least as stable as CVS at 
this point.  Another point is that these projects likely care more about VCS 
than your average sourceforge project does, and as such have made much more 
informed decisions about this than the many projects out there that have just 
gone with the default lowest common denominator.
