Yes, definitely!

I'm not complaining about changing to git, but Dscho's comment really 
rings true:

I'm in the middle of exam period, I have a term papers to write, and I 
have two weeks of lilypond bug reports and doc typos to process.  I 
don't care if git can do branches really nicely or walk my dog or cure 
cancer.  I can look at that stuff later -- right now I just want to fix 
things and upload them.

Cheers,
