[LLVMdev] git Status Update?

[FlyLanguage]

So.

As long as the core devs are half mute on the topic, I don't think 
anything will happen. Asking a bunch of mostly irrelevant questions with 
no answers will not help.

Let's face it, Joe Dragon is pretty much happy with svn and there's an 
svn-git bridge for the rest of us.
