In no particular order: * We now have fairly substantial experience with svn for src/, and while it's not perfect, it has met our needs fairly well. * The FreeBSD development model is really focused on a "central" repository. While you can emulate that in git, you can't recreate it feature-for-feature (or bug-for-bug for that matter). * git lacks features that we like to have, such as sequential versioning and RCS-style $Id tags. * Several git experts are already working on git hubs for src/ so that the people who work well with git will have the ability to do that. I think it's probably safe at this point to assume that the choice to stick with svn is a done deal.
