Why can't we have both svn and git?  I think we should provide an up-to-date
git-svn repository today, then check where project development is at after a
few months or a year.

The biggest issue I see from using a git development model is that the WebKit
project would need its own "Linus" to integrate changes from branches/clones
into the main tree, unless using git is simply another means-to-an-end for
generating patches to post on Bugzilla.
