There is no explicit "benefit"; CVS was the only distributed version
control system around when savannah was set up. 

Supporting other vc's is on the list, but requires a lot of work from
both savannah volunteers and FSF sysadmins, both of whom have
approximately zero time for such large projects that touch many areas of
the infrastructure, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Oh, I didn't know Savannah was around that long. 

    As for the Downloads area, that requires you to use rsync

No, as mentioned by another respondent and on
https://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/DownloadArea, scp and sftp should
also work.

You are the second person to clarify that for me now. As I said to the previous person, that's really awesome and I'm glad that I was wrong (paraphrasing). =)

 

Best,
Karl
