The primary reasons to continue to support CVS-style access via |
| 8 |
git-cvsserver: |

1. Lightweight partial/subtree checkouts |
| 10 |
- Git has implemented subtree checkouts, but they still bring down a |
| 11 |
fairly large packfile. |
| 12 |
2. Arches were Git repos are too heavy (Kumba wanted this for MIPS) |
| 13 |
|

If we can get rid of #2, we're willing to live with #1. |

1. You will be given git bundles instead of being allowed to do initial |
| 21 |
clone. That way it's just a resumable HTTP download. |
