For a long time, I just ran tests and tried to flesh out things, and eventually went for it. A few of the patches to git-cvsserver from me were direct results of problems we ran to. But mind you, that was almost over a year ago. In the meantime, many of my developers switched. Some because it was easier than waiting for me to fix the bugs with the cvs server. Some because they saw me working with git. I still do not know why the third group switched. Now I have exactly one dev left, who refuses to use anything else than cvs. Fine with me. I can live with other people using inferiour programs than myself. I even patched cvsserver not to print the "committed using git-cvsserver" message locally. But then, I was never a cvs "power" user. Only a git power user. Ciao, Dscho
