Gentoo development involves minimal CVS knowledge. People pull from CVS and use repoman to commit. Repoman is necessary for committing changes to CVS in a way that guarentees that the tree is consistent and does quite a few QA checks to ensure that mistakes are not made. In my experience it works equally well with both CVS and GIT. With that said, we have a GIT migration planned, but it has taken years because people want to preserve the CVS history. --------------enig2B8D4C46034667D293BD1C2E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQzkgzAAoJECDuEZm+6ExkzCAQAKLo57u2ZmgqCQ0UtdsvoATu UgOaFR3awp6GYyF3bVXzL+H6fwa+h1ogXeQibJhGW49EIyPHCpjGJkBYyVVJ17I9 TgN/aI50lAs86RgtHGuKu/fkqQfL7tp5myWKzahxbDMinh1mG8cx7mrcPZpZZd7j Y2zK8m61c9kYFnQg/9orOq+AR6ioABtCJtD+x3n5mbks50dgykyhgUeg27DVwcO3 Yp7ED9NCxmg7ojHxEI+MYLjpG2EF3MM+XBlEJkK3vRzinl70ZrutUEs5igdoG+Z8 eWSpbl7FiNsZQ6YLzOyPXZw0e1izI6lSlkCnqNtJSYKK1qzPpi2gdLZpr5djfmGy nJt8fD6DE8pWWLV3YSRq0qKHjLdn3c9ffmzFKXTz9XqF8NSHASA0+TAlEKuqAVlb KFTCCfTOTval2fzJn8vhOGJDI10ht034JYIJ+BMDuypJCHVas/GVAd/AJmNF/si2 6h8MCHqqVjTy+x/Q9dZ8OHgcvqtcpFWDaeGDARGoorTDSS83NNMU/Z8S54iUFF8z paqTbXPSnOUk0dYQvUW464MA61oHd4IqDmDwFnRi5D8zi5Mw8Cm6GLTcdsLLe3jI DOknh3Tw3SUK5mEWE9hiFHYonTSjTSCQL22NcgYGrnoZb2kGLlxhuMDgpQAYRNKr 8R3Q6x+44QnCaYIRWRGc =Yw6E -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig2B8D4C46034667D293BD1C2E--
