Can I stop somebody from making gerrit-for-cvs? No. I won't even try - Gentoo is about choice. However, the fact is that git is the future, and we're probably one of the only serious FOSS projects around still using cvs (largely because it doesn't hamper us as much as it hampers everybody else). We're really not that far from having a working git implementation. Rich
