There's no thought of changing the license.  I'm sure that would be a
discussion at a much higher temperature.

With that said, why would maintaining mthca exclusively in git make it
harder to track?  If anything I would think it would make it slightly
easier, since "git log rev1..rev2 drivers/infiniband/hw/mthca" and
"git diff rev1..rev2 drivers/infiniband/hw/mthca" are a lot faster
than the svn equivalents.
