Hey Martin,

Miller moved to git a while ago, and with 0.43 started pushing his git  
to a public repository.  Since then, it made sense to develop the Pd- 
extended fork of the Pd core also out of git so that we can manage the  
flow of patches between Pd and Pd-extended.  So this only applies to  
the core, i.e what's in the 'pd' folder.  Everything else remains in  
SVN.

I personally have moved all my work on the 'core' to git, I believe  
IOhannes has as well.  If you wanted to work on the 'pd' core stuff in  
Pd-extended out of SVN, I suppose that would be possible, but I think  
it would be much easier for everyone if you also did your core work  
out of git.  I am thinking that the Pd-extended release branches will  
remain entirely in SVN.

You are right, its not really been announced, I think my own Pd- 
extended work in git has only reached an announceable state in the  
past couple of days.  So I'm curious what your thoughts on all this  
are, since you contribute quite a bit to the core.
