RE: [eclipse.org-committers] Infrastructure update

Dear webmasters:
I have a better suggestion for CVS. You wrote:

Would you consider instead giving up CVS and SVN entirely and switch to Git
?
git cvsimport -C <destination> <module>
See http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/cvs-migration.html for
details
That way you can get rid of those repositories entirely and free up precious
disk space on those central servers.

Philippe
