Yes, I have not got the feeling "git is hard to use" at all, but that
might be because I'm not "tainted" with knowing any other VCS when I
started learning it.
I also like that I'm able to commit and juggle stuff around, when I'm
done I can make sure I haven't fucked up the repo and *then* - when I'm
confident about it all - being able to push it out to the public/shared
repo. SVN makes me kind of nervous to make a mistake since it sends it
out right away. (I haven't even tried branching, tagging and similar in
svn, so I can't compare.)

Definitely ok with me, the less VCSes I need to use the better (and I'm
already stuck with Git for pkg-iproute, and other stuff). Although SVN
isn't a problem since I'll still have to learn it as they use it at my
new work. (I should really learn it to be able to contribute properly
to Gnome in the future as well....)

And while we're at it discussing personal preferences, I'm not a CDBS
fan. ;)
Find it too hard to figure out which magic handle you're supposed to
know about, but maybe it's just because I'm too uninformed, haven't
given it enough chance, and not yet fully understood the fundamental
concepts of it.
I'll try not to be religious about it. This is my chance to learn.

Thanks again!

My only packaging team experience so far is the pkg-iproute where it's
only me and Alexander "formorer" Wirt, so this is the biggest team for
me! Feels really crowded. ;)
Alexander does all the package releases (finilising, tagging, uploading)
and since I like getting stuff reviewed this suits me well.
Although I'm unfortunately not very good at being patient, so maybe I'd
get really grumpy if Alexander wasn't always that fast at getting stuff
reviewed when I ask him (or when he asks me why I haven't asked him to
release yet!).
