I have to say, that's a pretty good summary of how I feel. :)

I don't contribute to ITK much, and I'm new to git, but I've been
following these discussion and I have the impression that it's all
pretty complicated.  I do understand, at a high level, the advantages
git brings, but the learning curve seems brutal.  I'm avoiding the
bleeding edge on this one, waiting for the the instructions, wiki, and
kinks to get worked out.

BTW: I can be a reviewer for anything Mac OS X-specific, which of course
is a tiny part of ITK.
