Hi,

I have just switched to git for lilypond source code and lilypond.org,
so I have a few questions (about both master and master-web heads):

1) Is comitting to CVS strictly forbidden from now?

2) Are the committers going to receive email notifications from
address@hidden like with cvs?
(or shall we just track the RSS feeds?)

3) How are we supposed to write commit messages?
(Shall we just copy the ChangeLog entries?)

4) As a consequence of 3), are ChangeLog entries still necessary?


At first sight, git seems to me a bit more complicated than cvs, but
it's so more featured and flexible!

Besides that, I'm sorry about the little delay in lilypond.org
translation, I was not at the computer at 2.10 release time; the most
serious is that the French download page is broken. I fixed it this
morning and pushed to git repository at sv.gnu.org, but when I'm writing
this lilypond.org is not updated.

Cheers,
