We only use this for the read-only repos anyway. > Tunneling anything through SSH is totally out of the question (for good > reason--if you can build an SSH tunnel, you can do ANYTHING). This is unfortunate as it's the main connection protocol used by developers for access.

I think that hosting the deeplink modules in git would be good on a number of fronts. It would allow e4 to work out some of the git workflows, would allow us to be consumers of eGit, etc. The 3 things that we would have to work through: 1) As I understood it, a project has to move to git. We would need special permission to move just your sub-component (deleting the CVS part is easy :-) 2) Git at the Foundation is supported over SSH (which wouldn't really solve your problem). I'm not sure if they support r/w over HTTPS 3) I would need a couple of people to work with me to get building from Git. If we can't build it, it ain't there! :-) Later, PW -- Paul Webster Hi floor.
