Subversion is nice for the central repository and the wider support. I think that makes it the ideal pick for Ruby's main repository. Luckily, that doesn't hinder us git fans. You can just pull the central git repository down with git-svn (which ships with git) and you get all the advantages of git locally. It's the best of both worlds. James Edward Gray II
