I have to agree with grobian. Gentoo development involves minimal CVS knowledge. People pull from CVS and use repoman to commit. Repoman is necessary for committing changes to CVS in a way that guarentees that the tree is consistent and does quite a few QA checks to ensure that mistakes are not made. In my experience it works equally well with both CVS and GIT. With that said, we have a GIT migration planned, but it has taken years because people want to preserve the CVS history.
