It's a good point. I thought we'd keep using CVS for 7.7.x while transitioning to git for "HEAD". On the other hand, I like Tristan's confidence, so I'd be OK with switching to git before we create the 7.7 branch. Also, why force ourselves to use two systems, one of them being phased out, when we can use just one? -- Joel
