Git would work well with our workflow. It supports the centralized
repository model, which the project employs right now.
The biggest issues, assuming the project indeed decides to move to Git
right now, are the migration costs, both in the term of the technical
efforts needed, and the learning curve for the most population of the
committers.
Relatively minor problem, at least with the current rate of the commits,
would be a commit race, when the shared repo head forwarded due to the
parallel commit. The issue should be somewhat mitigated by the Git
allowance to push a set of changes in one push.
