Move to git?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi there!
I planning to use Assimp.Net for SharpDX and I was wondering if Assimp.net 
could be migrated to a more distributed/community friendly source system like 
git? (Just in case I would find some missing features/bugs/enhancement/whatever)
Greetings

Maybe, I've never used Git before, or any distributed source control (although, 
at work we're preparing to move from P4 to Mercurial soon). Got any 
recommendations for a good plugin for VS?

For git with VS, I'm using both:
- gitextensions (http://code.google.com/p/gitextensions/): The interface is 
clean and all the features are exposed.
- Git Source Control Provider Extension (downloadable from the extension 
manager, after you have to setup it as the current source control plugin in 
VS), mainly to get an icon status on each file in the solution explorer.

For assimp.net, I needed for example to allow AnyCPU working, so I have updated 
AssimpMethods to make it working. I'm probably going to put this modified 
assimp.NET version on SharpDX git (as an internal project), but will be pleased 
to push bach these changes to assimp-net.

FYI, I've cleaned things up for AnyCPU support, which is now in the repository. 
Still need to test things a bit more.

For the time being I probably won't move to Git, but I'll keep it in mind when 
I have free time in the future. I have a backlog that I need to whittle down 
first for several projects. Thanks for the links/suggestions
