Note that I wasn't proposing the removal of the SVN repository. It is possible (at least theoretically -- not sure the SVN-based git tools are as functional/reliable as the CVS ones, e.g., for branches) to commit to a git repository and have those changes mirrored automatically to the existing svn one. That's what I do with git+cvs on savannah. Here's the web view of the git tree: http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=summary and here's the view (different tool) of the CVS one that contains all the same deltas: http://cvs.sv.gnu.org/viewcvs/coreutils/coreutils/#dirlist A less ambitious move that should still provide better built-in merging tools, would be to use SVK. That has the advantage that the underlying repository is SVN-based. But I haven't been following it's development, so don't know how feasible a switch would be.
