A question that has been re-raised with me today... should we be looking to transition the current exim VCS from CVS to git?
Personally I would have a degree of preference for this, as exim is the only project I now have contact with that uses CVS (a couple I have links with use svn/svk but I think they are likely to go git as they are perl and the perl core is now all git; all others are now git based including all of my personal/work stuff).
If we did convert we would be able to keep a git-cvspserver running for legacy access (although that would require a reconfig from those using it).
We would have to convert the cvs commit hooks to git hooks (some of these, such as the bugzilla integration, would fire on push operations to the master repository rather than on commit - this might be a good thing as it allows the revision of commits prior to push). The $Cambridge$ tags would also need to be stripped.
Any strong opinions for/against.
Obviously it needs work to be done... always a bad thing :-(
Nigel.
