The fact that CVS or SVN is centralized is not a bad thing for me. But 
the easy branching/merging with git is something I really like!

So, if it just happened that from tomorrow on the CVS repository had 
somehow transformed into a git repository I would count that as an 
improvement.

I am not sure how much non-developers actually use the CVS repository 
and whether a switch to git would degrade the popularity of that 
download channel.

But somebody would have to make the changes on www.ginac.de and that 
will not be me. So I don't press for a change and could live with CVS 
for next years to come.

Regards,
Jens
