Yes. The git was just a snapshot to give access while SF cleans up their mess, 
there is no live link between CVS and git.

Understood. That's why i see you guys more as the keepers of 1 than Gerrit, 
Carsten or me (you're the ones fixing all the bugs in 1 lately anyway ;).

Yup. And I would be very interested in experiences anybody has with git on 
Windows.

There is a religious war out, but I don't think it concerns us much. For the 
things we do IMHO either one would be fine. The main difference I can see is 
that hg keeps the history sacred while git allows you change it to keep it 
clean. Given that I'm expecting to use SF as an official git with tightly 
controlled write access I don't think we will have to mess with the history a 
whole lot, development will not be done on that tree, so I don't see a problem 
here. The main advantage is that there people on the team that have experience 
with git.
