I'll check with Savannah to see what kind of gateways they have
available.  If we get a one-way (read-only) CVS access point would that
be sufficient?  It would mean that you'd need to email patches, if you
didn't want to mess with git.

Most of the FOSS projects I'm playing with are moving towards git, so
all things being equal I'd prefer that.

That's good to know, thanks Matt.  Do you have any pointers to more
up-to-date Windows-specific git help?  Or is google still the best way?
