Egads is right.
I never intended to start such a discussion was not asking the maintainers to switch version control systems, just that I was about to set up a git repo to help in collaboration and anyone else interested in hacking on the devel version in that manner was happily invited.
Very easy to then push any collaborative patches back upstream.
Anyhow, I'll sink back into obscurity until I have some real code contributions.

My comment was not to beat the dead horse of why Git will save the world, but that using any other version control other than what the project is currently using is a distraction from the goal(s) of the project itself. The Slime mailing list went through this same thing a while back, and I it never got resolved.
When I said "fork" I meant if you want to maintain the code under some version control, go right ahead, but don't clutter the mailing list with advocacy for version control. On the other hand, I guess I could go to the version control mailing lists and tell them that they should be using Hunchentoot for their projects' web site.
Well said!
actually my experience is, that a well done distributed version control system should allow anyone to track a central CVS/SVN repository WITHOUT urging the developers to change their ways. If the release is done, the question may rise up again.
I fully understand Hans and Edi, that they want to get their project done their styles. Complete new features or major changes in project infrastructure are just unnecessary distractions. We as a community can help best by testing of whats there, reporting bugs or suggesting/ doing improvements in style and function. If help comes back as a patch it should be well tested, documented and in the sense of what the dev-branch tries to fix (no completely new things).
just my € 0.02
