I agree, but remember not all the bioperl devs have git nor know the
idiosyncrasies git has vs svn. I'm still wrapping my brain around it
myself.
Also, Rakudo had some initial headaches dealing with being on git and
syncing with ongoing parrot development, recently migrated over to the
parrot svn server. That's primarily b/c getting rakudo implemented
drove much of the current run of parrot development, though I think
the situation is somewhat rectified (I think pmichaud indicated rakudo
targets specific parrot versions now).
BTW, I managed to donate some code to Rakudo (the .trans
implementation, which is pretty hacky, and a few bug fixes). I'll be
posting an update to that one soon now that the Setting is being
worked on and Grammars are somewhat easier to work with.
