Hmmm...Romain, how is this maintained, is it with hook scripts from
the CVS repo? Also, is ChangeLog information in the git history or as
separate files?
I believe lossless repo conversions to Mercurial and bzr from git are
possible. And I seriously doubt the Savannah admins will refuse toi
support either if we request it.
So, this is very good news -- it will make moving easier. But it
does not actually constrain what we choose.
