sources.gentoo.org is a much worse (and slower) solution than cvs log. |

The main advantage of a ChangeLog (and of git) is that it allows you |
11 |
to check the history locally, without needing access to the network. |

The current situation is: |
22 |
|
23 |
(a) Not dire. |
24 |
(b) Not urgent. |
25 |
|
26 |
And if we decide, hey, let's move to git instead of having this |
27 |
discussion, the current situation is also: |
28 |
|
29 |
(c) A waste of everyone's time. |
30 |
|
31 |
So no, future plans are not independent of the current situation, and |
32 |
a move to git *is* a way to deal with the current situation. |
33 |
|
34 |
In effect, we kill (at least) two birds with one stone and prevent a |
35 |
lot of argument and bad blood. |
