And more to the point, IIRC any confusion surrounding the Rakudo
migration had very little to do with switching to git.  
The real source of difficulty was moving Rakudo out of
the Parrot repository on extremely short notice, requiring 
entirely new configuration, build scripts, installation 
instructions, and documentation.

In other words, from my perspective the vast amount of difficulty
we encountered was due to migrating Rakudo out of Parrot, not
because we switched to git.  (Perhaps others have a different
perspective, however.)
