For getting invasive (read: interface changes and the like) changes into

CVS, git, and arch. arch and git are both decentralized, altough I find
arch very difficult to use.

This is sadly a very bad idea; it is bad because it was tried and
failed. This is how the ams-branch worked. All the patches in that
branch have been proven stable, still, none of them are applied to the
