Why

Subversion is outdated

Subversion is a bit outdated most developers have never used it before. Using git should help lower the bar for new developers.

Better Branch support

With larger rewrites, it will be nice to have better branching support and especially when we have dual release cycles going at once we can have a dev branch and a stabilizing branch similar to what we do for rB

Process
