The difficulty in moving to GIT is exactly the same
(none, already done).

The only thing that would change by having the official code in GIT
is we'll need a different way to generate geos_svn_revision.h and
a different way to generate the ChangeLog (a ticket exists for the
latter).

You might be right that moving all at once might be simpler.
Want to help with the geos_svn_revision.h part ?
I guess we could use `git describe --always` as the revision.
