Ok, I'm sure we'll live with that :) Just one note though, git-svn makes
it very easy to apply Git's ease of use (I sure that means nothing to
you ;) ) on a subversion repository. This mean from Git I can easily
check-out latest svn code, rebase if needed and apply git commits on the
SVN trunk or branches.

So if (and I emphasise on the "if") switching the core to SVN is a
possibility, that could, IMHO, make the Git-lovers out there much
happier, and I'll be happy to post instruction to clone the svn repo and
explain the normal work flow using git-svn.

I don't want to force anyone's hand, but for me the day I started using
git-svn I also started hating Subversion which was by far the SCM I used
and administered the most before Git.

Virtualization is moving to the mainstream and overtaking non-virtualized
environment for deploying applications. Does it make network security 
easier or more difficult to achieve? Read this whitepaper to separate the 
two and get a better understanding.
