It's been useful in the past (when Wine went from CVS to git) to make it unnecessary for all developers to switch which software they're using at the same time. With that particular project, it really went from having a CVS repository and a git gateway to having a git repository and a CVS gateway without users seeing a difference (except that the CVS access was suddenly faster). Then, of course, the git users were able to start making use of the more flexible representation of history, since the official repository then could represent it. -Daniel *This .sig left intentionally blank*
