Maybe our data is informal. I rather not have code to be informal,
directly the reason why I choose a GIT repository: people can branch my
code create mess, fix stuff up and send it back.

If someone exposes peoples privacy, will his commits right be reverted?

If it /is/ a one-stop shop, make svn accessible with the OSM
credentials, just see what happens.

So 'everyone' is not 'everyone' by default?

I thought by now there are svn2git bridges. So can we please not
bikeshed about what kind of versioning system we use, instead ask
ourselves why it took two weeks to get the serious bugs out of an app...
because just nobody cared?

And the point is, if I release the pbf version of your tool... when can
we make sure that people start caring about it?
