+1 to declaring git the default Docs Project SCM.  I'm brand-new with
it, I still get stumbles, but it is clearly more useful than the CVS/SVN
paradigm.

I'd prefer to see *all* of our hosted books using the same SCM, to
simplify training in Docs.  Since we finally have the chance to abandon
CVS, let's not do the half-step to SVN.  We're not some enterprise
constrained by process and archaic beliefs!

Writer groups who start off a book on fedorahosted.org have the right to
make their own choice, but a very strong recommendation of a specific
SCM seems like a sane idea to me.  (Then we can just debate the specific
SCM.)
