Well the repo is owned by root and gives group access to group 'cjk',
which you are member of. You need to use ~wl to access the repository.

The repository is currently empty, I think that's normal.

There are some basic commands at:
http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/Git

The import is essentially:

- create a local Git repository and import the CVS history there, on
  your machine

- push the local repository to Savannah with something like:
    git push [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/srv/git/cjk.git master:refs/heads/master
  With git you can import the initial repository without admin
  intervention.


I don't know what's best for a CVS->git conversion though.

You can ask Jim Meyering what he did for coreutils, or ask the git
mailing list. It would be good to get some documentation on the
process.
