(If you have no experience with git but are interested in playing with it, you could try out git-svn, which works quite nicely as a 'frontend' to IMP's current SVN repository.)
I now have a pretty decent setup for syncing back and forth between git and svn. As it looks more or less like the commit model I am proposing we use for git (<https://github.com/salilab/imp/wiki/A-proposed-commit-model-for-IMP>) under the extra restriction that I am the one doing the actual commits to salilab/imp/develop, I would be all for having a few people use the github repo under that model to experiment with things and work out kinds that might arise with that workflow.
To be more concrete, anyone who is interested in either committing things to modules that I know things about (ones having me on the developer list) is encouraged to read the page above and try to work through things.
