This discussion seems to go the wrong way: all we have to decide is whether
we want Git support in TSVN or not. Rewriting TSVN to support whatever SCM
system out there that might not even exist yet is (for me at least) out of
the question. I won't start rewriting stuff but only *add* support for Git.
Because trying to provide something that fits all SCMs out there will only
lead to sub-par UI, and that's exactly why I don't like the UI of TGit.
