Folks,

For those who are interested, I've changed our SCM to know use GIT. The
more and more I use GIT I wonder why I didnt do this ages ago. I've also
started using it for other projects I work on...

The move to GIT was not a full "cvs import" - instead I extracted each
of the PLA releases and commited those to a new GIT repository. While
these might seem a little unorthodox, I did it this way because:

* The cvsimporting was not as clean as I would have liked. The GIT cvs
import doesnt import empty branches, and some of the old PLA releases
where a branch with no commits.

* Using the cvs2git from the cvs2svn (which from what I read could
import empty branches) was looking too hard (I couldnt get the right
version of python, cvs2svn, phython-abi, etc)

Anyway, with the full "release" history in GIT, you can now switch to
any release using "git checkout RELEASE-x.x.x", or "git checkout
BRANCH-x.x" (not all PLA releases where branched).

The git repository details can be found on the wiki

I wont delete the old CVS repository - it will stay there so that old
commits can be referred back to if needed.
