Please see this page on our website:

We have an in-progress migration to git but it is not completed yet.
If you do not want to touch CVS, I suggest either downloading
individual files via the viewvc web interface and diffing them
manually or, if you have an ssh-capable alioth account, using git-cvs
to download out the whole CVS repository and convert it to git
locally.

The download pages are due for an overhaul, if you want to take on
that task and consult the CD and installer teams about your proposed
changes, that would be awesome.
