I believe the general sense of previous discussion was that the git switch has been delayed too long already, and while code review, etc, might be nice, in this case it's the perfect being the enemy of the good, in that it would likely result in another half-decade of gentoo on cvs while these /additional/ things were worked out, and that was simply judged to be an unacceptable tradeoff to make. Which I (strongly!) agree with. The switch to git won't be perfect, but we /can/ do it now, and we should. If code review, etc, is to happen, once we're on git it can happen incrementally, but we're not losing anything we have already by not doing it with the switch to git, while just the switch to git alone is already a huge improvement, bringing us into the current era, at least. And there's always going to be one more thing we could change to make things better... at the cost of putting off the big switch yet again... ultimately indefinitely, letting the perfect be the enemy of the good, to the benefit of the otherwise generally agreed to be unacceptable status quo. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
