Git is great for large projects and scales for thousands of contributors
which is why it was created by Torvalds,... for the linux kernel. cvs
works just fine for a little project like elilo with one guy with write
access to the source tree. Git has great features, and patch tools I
know but just because elilo is in cvs doesnt prevent you from pulling
elilo source into your git tree, creating your own git project with it,
and using your git env... Anyway, I know of GIT's use and value and
will probably move elilo to it but am not in a hurry to do so. (thanks
for the tailor tip, didnt know about that one.)

I dont think gnu-efi is dead, but regardless this is "elilo-discuss"
and the wrong list for gnu-efi requests or discussions... separate
project.
