I haven't been impressed with Launchpad/bazaar and I'd like to open the
discussion to moving ERMA to another hosting site.  The main reason I do not
like using launchpad/bazaar is the lack of toolage of community following.
I find it tedious currently to manage my different branches along with
reviewing/merging your branches back to trunk.  Loggerhead helps a little
bit but this isn't that great.  If I'm the only one unhappy with this
situation then I'll be quiet, but if I'm not alone I'd like to suggest one
these two sites as an alternative:
Sourcefourge (subversion)
Github (git)

The advantage to either one of these choices is the greater amount of tools
already built out on each technology.  Granted subversion has been around a
lot longer than git but git has quite the following and has relatively
quickly gained a lot of tool support.  I know Doug is a git guru and would
probably lean that way.  My only reservation is: do we really need
distributed source control?  Or would simple subversion fit our needs?

If we are considering moving sites I'd like to do it sooner rather than
later so please chime in with your opinions.
