No, no wildfire here. I'm still one of those heathens using CVS too.
What I meant was use git to clone the existing git repository to the local rhlx01box. Then I naively assumed you could some how export from git into CVS. A git expert probably knows whether that's possible (a quick Google search didn't provide an answer). Then you'd have both git and CVS available in Europe as well.
Did you try this copy of cvsup?
