In the other thread we are discussing the conversion of Mozilla CVS to git format. This is something that has to be done but it is not the only issue. Without a native Windows port they won't even consider using git. There is also the risk that the features needed by Mozilla will be completed after they choose to use a different SCM.

Even if we implement all of the needed features git still needs to win the competition against the other possible choices. The last I heard the leading candiate is SVN/SVK.
