This already exists at http://anoncvs.estpak.ee/cgi-bin/cgit/ - there have been other attempts too but this one is still up and running and converting new commits. If I'm looking for a commit which has broken something in a known timeframe, often this is my first port of call, looking through the log there and clicking to see the diff for a commit is usually a lot quicker than running cvsps (and far quicker than many other methods). > I just want for people to be able to easily play with the source > code without spending hours pulling things down. An anoncvs checkout should be nothing like "hours".. over ADSL it takes me a touch over 4 minutes to checkout all of src (and unlike git, if I'm only interested in a certain subdirectory, I can pull that individually..)
