It actually has been discussed; some of the discussion was on
the binutils list.  There's a few of us who'd like to see it happen,
but it's not easy, because of partial checkouts.  GDB is part of
a larger repository (src) and we'd need to a plan to make sure
that a transition to any other VC system does not introduce new
issues.  There's also been some resistance towards git from some
of the contributors and maintainers.
