Agreed.  I think we need more peer review, and more discussion.  That
each of us has an SVN account is really nice (I'm thankful to Eelco and
other UU people) but we've had the tendency to work on our side, without
much discussion.

I think the idea was to use Git or another DRCS as a replacement for
Subversion, which also has the nice bonus of automatically creating
backups of the repo (at least with Git).

Thanks,
Ludovic.
