The original idea was to experiment with github but port the changes to svn on SourceForge. In practice the git repository has got a bit ahead and there are quite a few changes that I need to apply to bring svn into line. I had in mind keeping svn going as far as the next release but I'm wondering about that now. Having two "official" repositories is complicated.
What are people's opinions about phasing out SVN in favour of Git?
Thank you everyone for your input. It's interesting that no one seems to be in favour of remaining with Subversion.
I take the points about Mercurial but I get the impression that Git is more widely used. From a purely personal point of view I've had to get to grips with Git for other projects so it's not that much extra effort. There also seem to be better tools for Git than Mercurial.
I've updated the web site to point to the Git repository. I'll probably commit something to SVN to point out that it's no longer being updated.
