I would much rather decide what something should be before starting to convert 
;)

I'd vote for git and I can offer to convert the history from cvs to git. But 
I'm just occasionally sending a patch so my preferences should not count so 
much. Mostly the maintainer should be comfortable with the "something" chosen.

I've made good experience with git. But when deciding where to host it, you 
should check if you can give commit rights to others and how hard it is to do 
so.

I'm hosting some projects on our own server: 
http://developer.intra2net.com/git/

But it took a while to set it up so that others can commit, but just to the 
specific projects they are allowed to.

I'm also working with a project hosted on github.com. It's very easy to give 
rights to others. It's even more easy to merge some specific patches someone 
else has done. So I'd recommend to use github.

Kind regards,

Gerd
