I find to be more robust and more flexible as you can commit, view 
history, checkout different tags/versions without using a "public" 
server as you have your own server... And you can have as many tags as 
you want and you don't have different directories for that...

after some time I find now more intuitive as you don't have to think in 
trunk, tags and braches and you are really encouraged to use 
different/multiple branches for different parts of development...

I would be glad to see a switch :p

I will definitely need something like this as I don't want to save 
multiple Version of a Plugin...

For a Git Client I'm not sure what would be the benefit?

I mean what I would do for the PR is that you just push to the git 
repository and the PR will check for special tags like "Release[v0.0.3]" 
or similar... All these tags will be visible at the PR webpage.

For people who don't have git installed they can just use the "regular" 
TYPO3 way. Just hit the upload to PR button and the server will do the 
rest (basically just update all the files, do a git commit and tag it 
with a new Release)

cheers
