You could add in a couple of shell scripts to do fancy merging tricks and keep track of the history of "patches" submitted and applied, keeping all of that new meta-data under CVS. Contributors could use git if they want, as long as they don't mind using some of those scripts to prepare patches to submit. You get the "dvcs" effect that way, without changing the vcs.... If it's done in simple and clean ways then people could add on features like web browsing interfaces and "log" reporting features. -t > > >
