That's a fair comment, but since this thread seems to have moved in the
direction of "we should probably at least consider other DVCS systems" I

Is it *really* necessary that we do that here? There's SO much info out

point of trying to make it rockbox specific here, if there even IS anything
Rockbox specific about it.

people who are answer them.
