It's something of a disk hog considering you rarely ever revise a 
file. When we moved, I basically felt it wasn't such a great idea to 
put them in CVS, but we could change if this is what people want.

So far SourceForge hasn't put a quota on CVS (it's about the only 
thing they *haven't* quota'ed. So it's up to the group. If this is a 
good idea now that FTP has disappeared, sure.

Keep in mind, I still find strange quirks with the CVS on SourceForge 
in terms of connectivity. Some of my cron jobs hang because the cvs 
command never hangs. (And I don't know how you'd set an alarm in a 
shell script.)
