I remember seeing that about git as well, that there are
cvs-compatibility commands.

I would much prefer to go with a distributed system than centralized.
I have not used git, but have friends who have, and it has really

If someone knows how to set up a git repository, now is a great time
to do it.  Then at least people can play with git while we cannot
access CVS.
