Git mirror on Savannah. CVS?

Is the git mirror that's currently available on Savannah still going  
to be functional (read-only)?

Also, are we going to have a read-only CVS mirror, or at least daily  
snapshots available for download for those who just want to follow or  
build their own Emacs from the  sources in development?  (Of course  
they could do a lightweight checkout, but they'd have to know that and  
also have bzr installed.  It's in our interest to make this sort of  
thing as easy as possible in order to have testers and small  
contributors.)

Something like git-cvsserver could be used maybe (it emulates a CVS
server using a git repo).

If someone sets it up, we'll have it.  I'm not planning to work on a CVS
mirror myself -- bzr is quite enough on my plate :-).  But of course
$OTHER_VC_SYSTEM mirrors are most welcome.

Was there ever an answer to this?  In the archives I see only two  
replies, both addressing only the other part (r/o CVS mirror) of  
David's email.

I'm looking at possibly using git for an Emacs-based project but if  
the bzr switch is going to break things (either by making a completely  
new git mirror that breaks my tracking, or by disabling the git  
mirror), I need to reevaluate, and may stick with manual mirroring  
into subversion for the time being.  I've been bitten by VCS problems  
too many times in this project to want to go through it again....
