[Bf-committers] Let us switch to git, pretty please

[Agustin Benavidez]

>From my experience i can clearly see that Blender project should be using
GIT or Mercurial, and that switch is not only about eficiency and less pain,
but also new development possibilities.

Also, those who control the main code repository have the oportunity to
demostrate that blender REALLY belongs to everyone.

Cheers.
