I personally use git to keep my local GDB work, I've just imported CVS tip, and then go "cvs up + git commit" from time to time. It works relatively well (*). As for full CVS->git conversion, I've tried then GDB's repo size and my ISP conspired to make it not happen. I've rsynced GDB repo now, and plan to try again some time. - Volodya (*) The most important properties of git for me (i) ability to revise a patch in a middle of a series and (ii) ability to format all patches as emails and put it on IMAP server. I have not the slightest clue if the distributed features proper are of any value.
