From what I can tell there are no plans to stop supporting CVS. They recommend
not using it for new stuff, but I can't see an end-of-life date for CVS.
The one thing that's not working right now is email from the SCM servers, but
that's true for git, too. Not sure if that's a general problems or just not
done
yet.

I would not have them as branches. SF supports mutliple repos, so we can have
separate repos for 1 and 2. Permissions can only be set for all, so we'll have
to depend on people being resonable, but I don't see giving a lot of people
write access to the repo, especially with git.
The real decision is for the folks that will be focused on using and managing
1... Do you guys want CVS or git?

That should be manageable.

Agreed, let's keep the holy wars on topic (i.e. scenegraphs). ;)

All for it. Github for the mess, SF for the clean, linear history where nobody
ever commits buggy code. ;)
When do you want to move?
