Yes, I think so. "The kids" these days all want to use git, not svn. That's harder to do because you have to set up git *and* git-svn. > Wouldn't all this effort be better spent in getting finally rid of CVS for > wwwdocs!

For the half dozen commits I make to wwwdocs per year it would be slightly more convenient. But after comparing that to the half dozen commits I make to the source code *per* *day* (on a good day) I really don't care what repo the wwwdocs are in. I don't do bisections on wwwdocs, I don't keep local branches, and noone is going to create a Git mirror of wwwdocs on github so they can fork our web pages more conveniently. It's worth spending all this effort on the source repo because it's more important than the wwwdocs repo.
