We have converted one project from Subversion to Git, which was pretty pain free; but I think it would be difficult for the other projects due to the history contained in the various Trac instances.
The move TO SVN was never completed due to agro with the module handling in SVN, 
and then GIT/HG came out which was when the next attempt was planned.
I'm not seeing any problem with 'porting'. The problem comes where a single 
modular CVS base is ported to a lot of individual repo's ... you loose all of 
the package handling structure and have to start rebuilding super-projects from 
scratch. Now I am having to each package/module individually, so can't just 
'sync' and see which packages have updates. I've relied on that in Eclipse for 
many years!

As said on the other thread. Eclipse plugs holes that other methods of working 
complain about. Currently I can't review updates from other developers and pick 
and choose the good bits and roll back bad bits IN Eclipse on projects now 
hosted in git.

I even went back to the start and reinstalled eclipse, which is a doddle since there is now a nice bundled package for 'javascript' development which includes all I need for the web stuff. I am still using phpEclipse rather than switching to PDO, since I am just used to the way it works AND can hack the code when I need to. But it's at this point that things become considerably messy as there is not a 'single' path forward to add DVCS support ..

That is the one - although why a commercial company was allowed to force it's 
will on Eclipse still annoys me ... phpEclipse had been the standard for years 
so should just have been rolled in.
