Go for it! *Grin* |

More seriously, the only thing standing in the way of migrating away |
| 9 |
from CVS is actual evidence that something else will work better. If |
| 10 |
you want to do the testing, I don't think anybody is going to stand in |
| 11 |
your way. Indeed, I'm sure that if you wanted to solicit help with |
| 12 |
testing from our users, I suspect that infra could make a tarball of the |
| 13 |
repository available. |

Some questions that need to be answered: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
* Can the repo be converted while maintaining the history? |
| 18 |
* How long does a full checkout take? |
| 19 |
* How much disk space does a full checkout require? |
| 20 |
* Is there a viewcvs equivalent available? |
| 21 |
* Others that I can't think of right now? (Please feel free to add.) |
| 22 |

(As an aside, it's perfectly possible to set up git so that anybody in |
| 24 |
the appropriate group can make changes.) |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
You seem to have an obvious preference for svn; care to to the |
| 27 |
benchmarking for that case? |
