I think Takumi's repository and script covers the real uses
(bisection, principally) as well as we need and probably better than
SVN. I suppose we might extend it to put an auto-incrementing revision
number in the commit message too, but that's trivial.

I think the responses in the thread have been heavily in favour
(including after AAron's mention in LLVM weekly), so we should either
get a more rigorous survey going as Tanya suggested (if we think it's
useful) or get started on the actual move.

I'm not really convinced that a survey would reach enough of a wider
audience to affect our actions here, though I think the results would
be very interesting anyway in the longer term (particularly on
preferred workflows).

Chandler already did that: https://github.com/llvm. So we're one step
in already!
