I have no technical points, other than a hearty approval of this move. git is stable, well used, and far more efficient than equivalent source control versions. There are many reasons, which I won't go into here (but a quick search on the net will tell you why). Also there are many, many transition guides for CVS users, one example of which is here: https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/v1.4.4.4/cvs-migration.html That's not definitive, but an example. Anyway I look forward to the transition. And thanks for doing this. Cheers, Phil
