Well at the moment, we're really still using SVN so this discussion
might not be ready to happen. If we are going to use a github org to
host our repos, git should be the SPOT. IMHO, we should focus on porting
everythign to git and not worry so much about where it's hosted for the
moment. I know that the svn to git conversion can often be tricky.
