I don't really know if Git is suitable for our workflow
though... I was
just trying to clarify those issues you pointed out about
Git.

I locally manage a couple of overlays with it, but nothing
compared to
the portage tree.

Nobody's explicitly mentioned this yet, but X.Org is
switching a lot of 
its stuff over to git. That's the reason for keithp's
parsecvs tool. The 
biggest one is the xserver CVS module, which has years of
history and 
much more complex branching than anything I'm aware of in
our CVS.

They have a similar centralized development model to us, so
it's a 
reasonable comparison. Although there are quite a few less
files in 
their repo, arguments could be made for splitting up
gentoo-x86 into one 
repo per subdirectory or similar.

Thanks,
Donnie
