Well, the initial reason for using SourceForge as SVN repo was from the experience with
Blastwave taking down the repo. I don't think it is reasonable to believe this is a
problem any more. Hosting an SVN repo is not that hard and it would be good to integrate
that into our existing Trac. As we have raw access to the repo the transition for
users should be as easy as an "svn switch". Additionally, I don't think we are in any
hurry, we could also discuss moving to another hoster. Switching the VC (e.g. to Git) is
a completely different issue I would like to keep out of the discussion for now.


Best regards
