I've been playing with Gnumeric under git.

-rw-rw-r--    1 welinder research     270M Nov  5 09:46
gnumeric/.git/objects/pack/pack-91291de5477ddd06545b052460239b3dae89ad72.pack

270M is about 40% of the cvs repository size.  Given
compression I would have expected bigger savings.

Conversion isn't perfect, probably because the cvs tree has
seen some hacking over the years.  (I am not posting the URL
because I don't want to kill gnome.org.)

We haven't switched yet, but I expect that we will.  We are
looking for (in no particular order):

1. Offline history.
2. Patch sets and other things that'll make it easier to maintain
    more than one branch.

In other words, pretty-much anything but cvs will fit the bill, :-./
