I just wanted to jump in and point out that this has, in fact, already  
been happening. JRuby has Git as its official repo at http://github.com/jruby/jruby 
, and MacRuby now has a Git repo that mirrors the core SVN repo at: git://git.macruby.org/macruby/MacRuby.git 
  (see the message at: http://lists.macosforge.org/pipermail/macruby-devel/2009-August/002261.html 
  for more information on that).

Cheers,

Josh
