OTOH, distributed RCS no longer qualifies as a "new" area, I think, and things seem to be "settling down" now. Besides, just because it looks fashionable doesn't mean it provides no benefits. For instance, CVS has a number of shortcomings unrelated to the fact that it's centralized, most of which are addressed by other centralized RCS like Subversion. > but their supposed features rarely seem to justify the learning curve > (the frequently steep, time consuming, and frustrating curve :-). Git's basic command set is really close to that of CVS. I recommend that you look at this document: http://git.or.cz/course/cvs.html (It's about Cogito, a tool built on top of Git, but for most commands you could substitute `git' to `cg'.) I see that Emacs (which still uses CVS as its primary RCS) has a Git mirror at Savannah. If Savannah people can do this for us, that'd be a good compromise, I think, as long as it allows people to use either CVS or Git without interfering.
