I guess I should explain better. I'm not certain this is the best way to have things work, but it is at least what I'd prefer: I want to move GnuTLS, which is maintained in CVS on cvs.gnupg.org right now (i.e., not on savannah) to a local git repository on my laptop, which I push to my server (josefsson.org), from which savannah and repo.or.cz and others mirror it. It is important that CVS read-only access still works. I don't know what access method is the best to use on josefsson.org. Ssh seems complicated for anonymous (or?), so I suppose git's own protocol or rsync is the way to go? Is this possible? Any help appreciated. /Simon
