Re: Switching CEDET from CVS to a Distributed VCS.

["Eric M. Ludlam" <eric@siege-engine.com>]

Hi Lennart,

  Thanks for the reminder, as I had forgotten.  Anything that makes
maintaining the CEDET code in the Emacs repository and my own repository
easier will help to help work around the paperwork issues I have to deal
with.  That would indeed be a big boon for me.

  I hadn't acted on these suggestions in the past because my Linux
distro had been so old and I was too lazy to build whatever vcs was
suggested myself.  Now that I've upgraded, this is no longer an issue.

Thanks
Eric
