GNOME to migrate to git

"In December 2008, Behdad Esfahbod organized the GNOME DVCS (Distributed Version Control System) Survey on behalf of the GNOME Foundation board of directors, Release Team, and Sysadmin Team with the aim of better understanding familiarity and preferences of our active contributor base regarding the future VCS for GNOME.
