I received instructions from Savannah folks on how to convert the CVS repository to git. I'll probably do this over the weekend sometime.
My thoughts on CVS, svn, and git. There really hasn't been any objection to moving out of CVS, although some made mumblings about status quo. Git feels faster than svn and works when one is disconnected from the Internet or there is an outage on Savannah. I think there's been more activity in git development recently than there has been on subversion. In a project like libcdio where development is spotty, we want to encourage others to use libcdio, develop it, contribute to it, or even fork it. So although as Peter says it is possible to use git on a subversion repository, why make it harder to do so?
