It's possible, but I would not encourage people to use this for anything other than passive monitoring of the code; CVS semantics are really too weak to express the capabilities of the git repository, so changes made through CVS will lose information. Git runs fine on Windows these days; asking people to use reasonable tools to contribute to the project doesn't seem crazy to me. --=20 keith.packard@intel.com --=-UZ1KWnRgbiuqeV9MQY0q Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEf7MJQp8BWwlsTdMRAuuwAKCKOifKxeSEWOQEJkcdGU6+PPMzzACfQJwP P59uj3uzWr+IR3FCGy7nQa4= =fsG5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-UZ1KWnRgbiuqeV9MQY0q--
