Well, from my very private point of view it would be beneficial to have
a GIT SCM as 'master' repository, but, please note, this is not what
I'm talking about in this whole context. I suspect some people have
gotten this wrong in the past.
I really do mean having one authoritative GIT as a _mirror_ of the
current CVS _now_ - this is why I'm always (mostly) using the word
"mirror" here. Such a mirror _might_ later turn into The Master
Repository, but, even though I sympathise with this idea, I tend to
leave this discussion to others.
_My_ reason for advocating this authoritative GIT 'instance' is driven
by the fact that GIT assigns a unique identifier (UUID) for every
single entity in the whole tree and for every commit/changeset, thus
allowing unique identification of every item in the history.
This fact allows for quite easy interchange of 'self-contained'
changesets among different developers if they all base their local
clone on a single GIT master.
Salut,
Martin.
