Move of the Bugzilla CVS to Git

[Jan Zerebecki]

I hereby announce that with the upgrade of Bugzilla we will use
Git for what the "bugzilla" cvs module is currently used (if
nothing unforeseen prevents this).

This can be seen as a test for also moving our other remaining
CVS modules.

Anyone who has a problem with this should speak up now.

Btw. the idea is to upgrade the server to "Sarge" shortly before
the Bugzilla upgrade.

As long as the CVS servers will be still available, or alternatively a
windows port of git is available that doesn't require thousands of other
tools...

I'm certainly not going to maintain a CVS mirror of the bugzilla git,
it's not worth the trouble. I believe git should work on cygwin, but
in the worst case you will be able to get tree snapshots using the
gitweb interface.

FYI: Git normally supports using CVS to access the Git repository or at
least the CVS-Head like access of it. I do it with the WINE project.

Don't you rather mean "Etch"? Debian stables get old enough as is, no need to 
use an outdated version.

Cheers,
