Hi,

AFAICT, we are still a SVN-only shop. Some bits of our packaging could
go better with Git (i.e. I just uploaded the newest release of Prawn,
which is built off three source files, and svn-buildpackage just does
not attempt to cope with it, while the DebSrc3.0 FAQ [1] shows that
git-buildpackage might be _less_ far off).

Still, there are some great tools (such as our PET [2]) which is
simply not Git-ready, and would be a shame to lose :-(
