Nobody's explicitly mentioned this yet, but X.Org is switching a lot of 
its stuff over to git. That's the reason for keithp's parsecvs tool. The 
biggest one is the xserver CVS module, which has years of history and 
much more complex branching than anything I'm aware of in our CVS.

They have a similar centralized development model to us, so it's a 
reasonable comparison. Although there are quite a few less files in 
their repo, arguments could be made for splitting up gentoo-x86 into one 
repo per subdirectory or similar.

Thanks,
Donnie
