Switching to git

I have always been happy about bzr. Recently I started working on a project that uses git, and this first contact was enough to convince me switching my own branches from bzr to git. The main argument is speed! The stage area is also a nice thing. I often rushed to type Ctrl+C with bzr after forgetting to mention which files I meant to commit.

Converting the branches was as easy as:

git init
bzr fast-export . | git fast-import
git reset

gitweb is now installed at http://git.aubio.org. You can clone a branch using:

git clone http://git.aubio.org/git/aubio

Hopefully this should also prevent trac eating most of the available memory. Still, the trac site remains really slow compared to gitweb, and has no support for multiple projects. So I am considering switching to Indefero or Redmine. They are written in PHP and Ruby, which are not really my preferred languages, but both have built-in support for multiple projects and are actively developed. Any suggestions?
