You might like to add "currently" to the sentence above - We might catch
you. ;-)

The decision is taken for Debian Med team:  Either SVN or Git.  We are
quite liberal what option of these two is taken but I do not think we
should offer additional options.  The question was just for the very
specific case of meme which was started in SVN and so for historical
reasons just sticks there and if there would be a reason to switch to
git (but nothing else) the barrier for this move would be pretty low.
 
Thanks for your insight anyway

      Andreas.
