I'm not sure why you gave up on CVS. But maintain a sotfware under some SCM is very important, there we might be able to cacth up all commits and detailed changes, which makes easier to find some regression or even identify a serious bug. I agree that CVS is not a very good option, but there are many SCM round the world. And i think that GIT is a good options.
