Ok, I have started a google group called mediawiki-vcs

              http://groups.google.com/group/mediawiki-vcs

We should just move the discussion there. Additionaly, I did not name it git, but vcs, for the reason that we should support multiple backends via a plugin. I am interested in using git because i think git is great, but others should be free to use cvs if they feel it is needed.
