The advantages you list are compelling. It is especially good that savannah supports git. I have only two points to counter: (1) git sucks to use (but somehow many people seem to manage), and (2) git does not work on windows. As another poster mentioned, cogito is not where it's at. Particularly the second point is a bit troubling.=20 How about switching from CVS to bzr? I ask in jest almost, but I think it is a worthwhile option. As an aside, in GStreamer we are going to completely punt on this question, and switch to subversion. You get changesets, which allows git-svn, bzr-svn, etc, which are not bad options. That could be the correct switch for guile -- there is no downside to switching to subversion relative to CVS.
