[logback-dev] Git as a version control system?

[Ralph Goers]

I've glanced at git but never used it. I've read that it is more  
complicated than SVN because it works very differently. I have enough  
interest in logback that I'd probably do what it takes to get access  
to the source but I imagine there are others who wouldn't if setting  
it up is more difficult than just installing a bit of software.

I'm not 100% sure what the real benefit would be. Ultimately the code  
needs to be committed back to logback. How would using git make it  
easier? Would we be able to commit somewhere that would allow you to  
commit stuff to the "real" repository?
