speakup, 2.6.22, and the way forward

Git from what I understand, is like cvs and svn, but I don't know the
specifics. 

As for losing compatibility with earlier kernels, I'm not sure I
understand your concern here, since speakup wasn't compatible with
earlier kernels for a good while now. For example, the speakup cvs for
2.6.21 will not patch into a 2.6.18 kernel. The solution for this of
course is to grab the earlier speakup revision for the older kernels,
and this will probably be doable as well once speakup supports newer
kernels again.
