By way of experimentation, and to move the discussion about source control forward, I've put git repositories for FlightGear and SimGear up at http://gitorious.org/fg. These are somewhat special in that they include all the history of the project back to 1997, as reconstructed from the historical CVS repositories. The git repository for SimGear is 7.7M and for FlightGear 22M, roughly the same size as their actual source trees.
These are not automatic mirrors of CVS, but are intended for new development that will be checked into CVS, so they will be reasonably well synchronized with CVS. Each repo contains a "cvs" branch that is a cvsimport of the head of CVS. How can you use these? If you're just curious and/or want to learn more about git, clone them, build FlightGear, and track new development by pulling from them. If you're a committer or ought to be one :), you can clone the repositories on gitorious.org and generate merge requests when you've done something cool. If it's suitable I'll merge it and the change will make its way to CVS. If you're a committer and experienced with git, ask me and you can commit changes directly.
