Why bother? RCS would be good enough for this.
I think it's worth bothering precisely because there is so much
discussion. People become attached to their tools, and hindering them
is dissipative distraction. It's a big win to save not only Emacs from
this cronic morass, but every other savannah-hosted project (GNU and not
GNU), as well.
As for RCS, well, if the revamped protocol is clean enough, why not?
The argument that the sysadmins don't have time actually supports this
effort -- i imagine (w/o data except for personal interactions re the
projects i admin) a non-trivial portion of the time-consuming tasks is
spent on fixing CVS-related weirdness. It's empathy for the sysadmins
that spurs me to speak up, actually -- i remember my experiences having
to admin CVS repos (for others) w/ distinct distaste. Max unfun.
Anyway, i'm falling yet further behind on even *starting* this task,
spewing on and on, so i'll bow out now. I repeat my invitation for
others to beat me to it. The thanks from everyone will be thunderous.
