I do not understand the reason behind your statements. CVS has worked
nicely for the last years. The only problems we have had, and which
pop every now and then, are not CVS related. Instead, they are
problems with the servers: mirror to the anonymous servers breaks
down, servers get offline, they are moved, there are changes in the
addresses, I lose SSH access because of stupid firewalls and IP
blocking... All in all, this is a deficiency of all the platforms ECL
has been hosted on. I doubt svn or git help on that respect, which is
why we have now four different mirrors.
