Subversion is clearly superior to CVS, but the difference between CVS and Subversion in terms of project organization is insignificant, at least for a project like GRUB. Considering that Subversion is not supported by Savannah, I think it's not worth it to move the repository to another site just to use Subversion. A commit that moves a file from one place to another will be understood by the converters as a move. As for git, I made a mirror at git://repo.or.cz/grub2.git that is updated by a cron job every 2 hours. I make all my patches in my local git repository. git can import from Subversion too. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
