I'll add one thing to the git/svn talk. I began working on a legacy code
base that was stored in SVN without the trunk/branches/tags setup. I'm a
git guy, but generally I'm happy with working with anything besides CVS or
VSS.

However, I had to switch tasks a lot, so branching was something I missed.
I ended up using git-svn to keep a git copy of the SVN repo locally so I
could have local branches without affecting the work style of the rest of
the team. It worked out really well and I ended up giving a lunch and learn
so my coworkers could learn how to "make the code look like a throw up
Christmas tree during code reviews" (the red white and green SVN diff
outputs).

Perhaps in August I could talk 30 minutes to an hour on making git and SVN
work together.
