Yes, bzr is a DVCS. And when a DVCS is a good fit, you might as well use git! Which is what they're doing. My point wasn't that switching to git isn't a good idea, just that my guess would be that out of all the reasons why people might not contribute to emacs development the VCS in use is not a huge factor.
But, I myself used the git mirror rather than bother with bzr. And this certainly is giving emacs some publicity, which (as I understand it) is always a good thing. And if it's being spun as some kind of a push to be friendlier to new developers, mabye the whole exercise will indeed prove more significant than I expect?
Anyway, fortunately we are now in a position to test my theory, one way or the other ;)
