This is where we disagree; you believe that the problems with git are
insurmountable. I believe that a not unreasonable amount of coding work
(to fix the conversion issues and set up scripts to deal with some
NetBSD-specific usage issues such as $NetBSD$ tag expansion) and some
changes to the way we work (such as a different way of dealing with the
issues for which we currently use partial checkouts) would surmount the
problems.

It is my opinion that this is, in part, because we've "decided" (in the
usual NetBSD default way) on a set of requirements that makes this so.
