[DISCUSS] move to Git for source control?

The idea to move from Subversion to Git has come up a few times. I have
only used it a little and am not that familiar with it. I understand that
Git makes branching and merging a lot easier than Subversion. On the flip
side (because it's more powerful?) it may take us a while to learn and get
used to.

Apache has writable Git repositories:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/#contents

It looks like it's possible to use both SVN and Git in parallel.

What are everyone's thoughts on this?

Matt already started a vote thread, so we can ignore this.
