I've avoided using any of the new conversions (hg or git) because my experiments to use them have, so far, frequently required starting from scratch with a fresh clone because someone has messed around in the CVS repositories in such a way that the hashes all change, again and again. I'm loathe to rely on hg or git until this possibility is entirely eliminated once and for all. At the same time though I'm still, all these years later, eagerly awaiting a time when I can reliably use git for NetBSD source! -- Greg A.
