That's not our decision to make ;-)

I agree about using homogeneous source control within a project, but if 
two dependencies of that project use different source control systems, 
it's trivial to take an export of one of them.

In fact, this "vendor branch" policy is actually recommended by the 
subversion guys even if you're using the same source control system...

cheers,

Chris
