Well, I guess I can help listing some advantages. Using git:

- off-line working: it is possible to develop off-line separating the 
commits
- speed: it is much faster to commit, create and alternate branches
- sharing: it is much faster to fork the project and save your 
modifications to Github, for instance, allowing others to review your 
changes easily than sending patches to specific revisions on Redmine.
- rebasing: Git allows us to easily maintain feature branches, through 
rebasing and history rewriting until it gets merged to master (or trunk)
- work-flow: we are able to use many types of work-flow differently from 
centralized VCS approach.
- front-end: Github and Gitorious are great examples of good web 
interface to git and they are pretty much popular among developers. 
Also, most (if not all) Rails developers use Git as their main (sole?) 
VCS and they are a great amount of Ruby developers who might me 
interested in contributing to Ruby.

If I think in more advantages, I'll let you know.

Best regards,

Rodrigo.

We might move to git when it can be judged that the advantage
exceeds the disadvantage.
I do not know who decides the timing.
However, until the determiner judges that the advantage exceeds
the disadvantage, people who hope to move should keep explaining
the advantage.
