Can we keep CVS in read-only mode please? The conversion of gentoo-x86 |
| 18 |
(i.e. historical.git) has known problems, like missing categories, |
| 19 |
commits wrongly combined, or commits assigned to the wrong author. |

The CVS repos are the authoritative source for any sort of historical |
| 22 |
research. I would hate if these were gone, unless we had a git |
| 23 |
conversion that could be trusted. |
