More information on distributed version control system -- git. Linus  
Torvalds' Google Tech Talk: <http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XpnKHJAok8>

I don't think there will be any conflict of having a svn and a git at  
the same time. We have a subversion server for the default bundles  
that comes with TM, and various git servers for the bundles that are  
not included in the default distribution.

I have not tried git or mercurial, so I can not really comment if  
this would help with the process of the development. Linux Torvalds,  
who I imagine to be smart guy, seems to be pretty confident about the  
distributed model.
