Why does the core system need to migrate from svn to git?
<br>
<br>

<br>
I thought everybody is using git anyway already. Are there
people
<br>
still using svn?

<br>
doing something because everybody is doing so is not the best
argument IMHO.
<br>
<br>
I would say that using git would improve quite a few things:
<br>
<br>
* it would be easier to send upstream patches
<br>
* having a good git web interface like gitlab or github would
allow newcomers to participate more easily
<br>
* it would make life easier to the core contributors that prefer
to work with git because git allows a very powerful development
workflow compared to SVN
