another CVS->GIT transition attempt

[Michal H. <ms...@gm...>]

Hi,
I am just reading a follow up about the recent attack on sf.net
infrastructure (http://sourceforge.net/blog/). What I found rather
interesting is the following excerpt:

"
CVS

CVS service is one of SourceForge.net's oldest services and, due to limitations
in CVS itself, cannot readily live on our scalable network storage solution.
Validation of this data is going to require several days and we anticipate that
this service will be restored sometime in the later part of week.

We are also considering the end-of-life of the CVS service and hope to have
user support in migrating CVS users to Subversion in coming months. Subversion
generally provides parity to CVS commands, and many of our users have made this
transition successfully in the past.

>From SVN, projects can move to Git if desired.
"

This means that there is a movement to abandon CVS at sf.net. I would
(mis)use this opportunity to reopen the discussion about moving to the
GIT. I do not find the transition to the SVN as a reasonable. If we have
to move to some other tool we should consider what is the best
possibility that we have.
