This also means that half the revs are against the kernel.  And for kernel 
changes, git ends up working well, plus its an improvement over svn for 
userspace.  I think part of the reason Roland wants each userspace maintainer to 
select their own tool is so that the maintainer can pick which tool is most 
suitable for their work flow.  I don't have a strong attachment to git, it just 
hit me as the most natural replacement.
