    The official location for Hadoop is the Apache SVN repository; Git is
    also supported, and useful if you want to make lots of local changes
    -and keep those changes under some form or private or public revision
    control.

    Update: the official location is now the Apache Git repository.

    A lot of people use Git with Hadoop because they have their own
    patches to make to Hadoop, and Git helps them manage it. Apache serves
    up read-only Git versions of their source at http://git.apache.org/.
    People cannot commit changes with Git; for that the patches need to be
    applied to the SVN repositories.

    These lines make it pretty clear.
