Adriaan does as far as I know (at least sometimes). Not sure about
others.

Yes. In my opinion, it makes sense to do this after 2.8.0 is released,
however.

This has been raised before. I really think migrating to Git will give
you a productivity boost. Is any Scala committer using Git to develop
Scala (besides Paul)?

Yes, I've been using git-svn exclusively for several months and love it (have been working on a process where every ticket gets its own branch, and each branch is tested individually on a separate build server before committing  to svn trunk,...). 
Iulian has also been using (and liking, afaict) it, and others are beginning to explore it.
We are working on the conversion, but it's going to take a while. Currently, our sole focus is on doing the best job we possibly can on the 2.8 release.

Glad to hear it's already being worked upon.

No doubt, releasing 2.8 is Priority One.

I understand there are tool-related issues (SmartSVN --- but SmartGIT
is coming!) and even coding habits but you should *really* try it out.

I am currently using git over svn at work (via command-line, I
confess) and I am happier than ever with my stashing, branching and
partial committing, so I can imagine what would happen if I were using
a full git stack.

Svn is to Git as Java is to Scala.  Once you have used the better one, it's very difficult to remember how you functioned with the inferior one.

My 2 cents.
 

Just my $0.02

It also leaves a feeling of "_how_ did I function back then?"

I went through the same experience. No turning back now.

It seems to have some Github integration. Need to investigate further,
but I am behind a nasty proxy right now.
