Any interest in using git for scm?

[dreamcat four]

Hi,
Checkouts are always many times faster under git. Even small projects.

I'm not a macports committer, but if you want to continue with svn,
and add git then i'd recommend to look at the PHP project. Some guys
there have come up with some great scripts to help the two work better
together.

http://github.com/php/php-svn-helpers
http://github.com/php/php-mirror-scripts

Guess you just cron the mirror-script every hour or something.
Good luck!
