It was picked above cvs a few years ago by Linus himself. SVN or actually subversion was developed as a cvs improvement/replacement. I suppose there must be some git clients out there, I have never looked. Hope another person can answer the rest of your questions.

I read today that the kernel serial device support was taken out of the latest 2.6.22, and thus Speakup will now work with it.
