that would be _really_ cool. In fact, I've been running more or less of 
a mirror of the latest revisions of Osmosis trunk on Github [1]. It is 
really much simpler to work and try things out and keep track of 
upstream and so on than with SVN. There's even a place for a GIT 
repository already, the Openstreetmap organization on GitHub [2].

The only thing we'd need to change would be the build script for the 
snapshot version string - currently it uses the SVN revision. In 
osmosis-fastused, I already made a similar Ant build script which uses 
the git revision (or tag, if available), to be found here [3].

Greetings from Stuttgart,
Igor
