If you want git access, we have that already (both read and write!),
so the only reason for moving the base repo to git would be to use a
bug tracker that interfaces with git, or to use github.

The *only* thing git can't be used for when contributing with Twisted
is releases, due to Twisted's non-standard release branch structure.
Everything else is using `git svn dcommit` instead of `git push`.

There is no other reason to do a base repo switch other than "svn is
scary" or "I don't like svn".
