Hey Martin, That's a neat idea, and a great way to get projects to move from CVS to GIT. I'd recommend that you avoid providing commit access to a GIT repository via CVS for starters. Many projects (eg. Wine) would benefit greatly from just having a way for people to get the source via CVS without having to write scripts to maintain a CVS tree in parallel. Serious developers will use GIT if the master repository is GIT anyway. Mike
