GNOME Project Moves to Git for Version Control
The GNOME project announced last Thursdaythat they would be migrating to the git version control system on a post to the gnome-devel mailing list. This is another major project that announced a move to the version control system started by Linus Torvalds in 2005 as an alternative to BitKeeper.
Previously Perl, Ruby on Rails, YUI, Merb, DragonFly BSD, GPM, WINE, and X.org announced moves to using git as their version control system. The GNOME project had been using the Subversion version control system before they chose to switch.
Further information on the migration can be found here.
