(Not sure if this is the right mailing list, but here goes.) Last night I did a csup to retrieve the whole cvs repository. I noticed that huge numbers of files in doc and www have been deleted. Is this intentional, or is it the svn to cvs program not working properly? And if it is the latter, are there plans to restore it? (No need to reply with "change to svn" - I am aware of that solution. But I still want to know what happened to cvs.)

Most of the diffs developers have been handing me lately are of the form a/path b/path so I think they are mostly using git behind the scenes. -Alfred

However, so far as I am aware, there are no plans in either the short or long terms to *convert upstream* to git. -- Eitan Adler

So you can have a cake and eat it too. People who like git can just check in the repo to their local disks and work on it using git features without forcing rest of the developers to use git. There apparently is also freebsd git repo that allows to do it, but you can connect it straight to svn (or even cvs). -- Best regards, Derek mailto:takeda at takeda.tk The best accelerator available for a Mac is one that causes it to go at 9.81 m/s2.
