In particular, if the git repos were officially supported, and best
practises for use with Postgres documented, I think a lot more hackers
would be comfortable using git to do their work, which is good for
collaboration (as mentioned by Greg Stark and Heikki upthread).

Seems if we could get some of the advantages of using a modern
distributed SCM without the "hard sell" of changing the central repos,
that's worth going for.
