If user's voices count - I'm for git.

For me that's a pleasure to work with and convenient tool to recieve
updates and to see what's new in there.

Also, I think teaching Tinycc users to do `git clone` and `git pull` is
not much harder compared to `cvs checkout` and `cvs update`. Even those
who don't have git can always download snapshots using dedicated gitweb
links.

Of course, it's up to those who actually write the code to decide which
tool is best to use.
