I would disagree (if just to make the point that no single system has
won): I think you'll find most objective observers agree that hg is
much more user-friendly and draws a *lot* of developers (though maybe
from a different tribe than yours; for example, Mercurial is quite
popular with Windows developers, where git functions suboptimally). So
while I agree that setting up a public (D)VCS repo ASAPish would be
good, I also agree with Robert that it's sensible to wait a little bit
for a discussion to take place, after the current issue subsides a
bit.
