git-bzr is buggy

What happened with the svn to git migration that was horrible out of
curiosity? The only thing I could see is issue tracking? The codebase
is already migrated because of the git mirror.

Why does it matter? It's extremely easy to switch between them.
One of the very few "open-source" hosts is https://gitorious.org/ but
there is no issue tracking and I would advise agaisn't it for that
alone.

Now if you self-host, you can do Gitlab https://about.gitlab.com/ but
it requires a bit of a VM or server to run, it's quite the resource
hog due to its design so for a heavy usage like KiCAD you absolutely
do not want to run it on a cheap VM without headaches :/
The alternative is to use Trac and separate git repo manager, it can
run on a cheap VM no problem.

Nope
