I haven't been following this topic closely, and as an "outsider" using git seems more complicated than using cvs or svn. And to be honest, I don't know if Biopython actually needs the branching and forking stuff. I think that this is more useful for bigger projects, where multiple developers may be working on interrelated parts of code at the same time. That hardly ever happens in Biopython, though.
