i'd be more interested in moving us over to Git, so i can stop getting these emails.
why would "these" emails stop more if we were using Git than they would if we were using svn?
I could be wrong, but I think git is a decentralised code management system. With decentralised code management systems like git and bzr you don't need to have a 'central' repository. Everyone has their own copy of the code in their own repository and patches are posted to a common place (like this mailing list). Each person can then decide to accept or reject those patches into their own codebase. So becoming a developer is as easy as checking out a local copy of the code, signing up to the mailing list, and starting to post patches. It's a more democratic way of developing, and more subject to software evolution.
I am not sure if that development model suits Pure Data though. It might be a bit unrealistic to think everyone here could work in that style.
Best,
Chris.
