Correct. The consensus is that as soon as svn on sourceforge supports  
this, we'd switch over.

I've had some experience with git. On one hand, it's amazingly  
powerful. On the other, it's really not clear whether the tinyos tree  
needs that power (yet). The active developer set is an order of  
magnitude or more smaller than Linux, and there is much less rewriting/ 
forking.
