Emacs Git vs CVS repos

Emacs Git vs CVS repos

[Ted Roden]

Just looking at the savannah repos and was curious about the different
SCMs being used. Specifically: the git code seems to update with the CVS
code at some point. Is this automated or is someone doing it? Also, is
there an "official" codebase for developers to work from?

It's automated.

Not sure what you mean, though the CVS trunk contains the canonical
source code, and the git repo should be identical to CVS, after a short
time delay.

Yes, please see Emacs home page. Is not the information there clear
enough? (If not it should of course be corrected.)

Great thanks!

I guess I was asking which SCM devs use when they commit. It was poorly
worded, but it sounds like they use CVS and it gets posted
automatically. 

Either way, I can use git and get what I need. Thanks so much for the
help

Unless we're talking about different things, I don't see this answered
on the home page at all. It mentions CVS, but nothing about syncing
between SCMs and nothing about git at all.

Though I'm not sure if this kind of thing warrants space on the home
page.

Sorry, I just meant the official code base (that is in CVS).
