Those are all good things. I worry about it being too high a barrier.  
Here's another way of asking: what's keeping you, personally, from  
converting a library right now?

For me, I'm working on Horde_Date_Parser in git, but it has so much  
cruft and the code I'm porting from in it right now that I'm doing it  
in the hatchery. If that's not necessary with git, I'm open to that  
argument also. I've also thought about moving over the libraries that  
are already PHP 5 - Horde_Feed and such - but have hesitated to split  
development between CVS and git too much.
