Sorry for the late reply this time, I had to travel a bit and then had some hard work when coming back :) > [FWIW, one can remove history with cvs (using admin -o), but I suppose > you know that, and have disabled the `feature' on savannah. ] Yes, we did. > With git or hg, it'd be similar.

Would a restricted (git-shell) access work as well? Or do you need direct rsync write access? Since I think git-shell would work with all project types (unlike direct rsync write access), I would favor it.

Ok (release early... ;)). You mentioned a lot of facts about git, but not on hg. Do you have something to add about it?
