What are people's opinions about phasing out SVN in favour of Git?
I support moving fully to git.
As for github v. bitbucket and git v. mercurial: these are two different decisions, as for each tool there are alternative hosting solutions. Even savannah.gnu.org does git nowadays! So let's take the tool decision first. I admit that I support git mainly because that's what I use for everything else; they have, by and large, the same power.
About the hosting, both github and bitbucket are impenetrable Web 2.0 thickets to me, and I would prefer not to use either but something like repo.or.cz. But at least github is usable without enabling unlimited redirections to random CDNs; bitbucket is not. So if it has to be one of these 2, github please.
