Using git as your version control system has several benefits. One is enabling
more distributed development, but I feel the more important one is that the
commit history in git is inherently a hash chain all the way to the first
commit, and both tags and pull requests can be signed. This should provide some
additional protection against possible future attempts to sneak anything
malicious in.
