Let me know what you find. Converting this without rewriting parsecvs looks to be beyond the capacity of my home machine. I'm sure you have access to giant machines at Intel. Did I see that you can use CVS client tools to manipulate a git repository? Mozilla has a lot of users on other OSes besides Linux. It would be nice to change the core server over to git and leave these other users running their existing tools. -- Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com
