The way I used the Emacs CVS repos before I switched to bzr and git was just: - make local copy of remote repos - hack - fetch changes from upstream - provide patch for emacs-devel to ridicule which is about 3 scm commands. It seems to be a small investment even for the interim. I'm sure, though, that you need to do more complex things I'm missing. Now that I use git I do more stuff like local branching, having several remote branches to sync with, etc, but one doesn't have to do those kinds of things. > -- Joakim Verona
