Project:Infrastructure/Git migration/GSoC2006

This page was created to track progress regarding the migration of Gentoo's CVS repositories to another versioning control system. This is being done in conjuction with a Google Summer of Code project.

Reasons for Migration

 * CVS does not support branching in a sane manner.
 * CVS commits are not atomic.
 * CVS has a lot of overhead when working with a remote checkout.
