Resolving "later" since we are not planning to do this any time soon.

A good primer for the Subversion adherents is "Subversion Re-education" from Joel Spolsky:
http://hginit.com/00.html

Don't pay any attention to the fact that it's talking about Mercurial and is pimping his Mercurial-based product.  The same DVCS virtues he extols apply to Git or Bazaar or probably even Darcs.

Now, as to *which* DVCS to switch to, here's a pretty persuasive case for Git:

(...and I say this as someone who has been using Mercurial for the past couple of years)

Closing blocking bug.  This is done, we have a component, and we're not really following this tracking bug anymore.
