Frank / Antonio,

FYI, I keep the repo at https://github.com/mloskot/gdal up to
date daily. I'm assembling a server at home, so it will become
cronjob-managed soon.

I am not proposing git for GDAL.
However, I believe github could be very useful to host GDAL sandbox
which can be forked by anyone and without hassle of managing privs
in OSGeo SVN.

Best regards,
