I can't use git-cvsserver because the main repository is going to have to stay on CVS for the time being. I don't think it could be used as a drop in replacement for our existing server anyway as it doesn't support tagging or branching. Using git is my own personal indulgence (At least until I can demonstrate it's worth while the other migrating ;-). It looks like git-svn is the sort of tool I'd want for CVS although I'm not sure how it would live with our CVS branched development model. I'll have a poke around Tailor and see if that offers any help. -- Alex, homepage: http://www.bennee.com/~alex/ Nobody wants constructive criticism.
