As discussed previously, I'd like to move asdf from sourceforge to  
cl.net. I'd also like to move from CVS to git. I also want to make  
things as simple as possible for all the stakeholders (i.e., the lisp  
community, the cCLan creators and maintainers, me (!)).

I'm not a VCS-maven and haven't found any brain-dead simple cvs to git  
converters that are come with only praise. The easiest thing (for me)  
to do would be to checkout the head of the ASDF repository and start a  
fresh git image from there.

# Pros

* it's easy
* requires no research into software tools
* it could be done today!

# Cons

* we lose easy access to the history of the repository

I personally don't mind losing the history but if there are those that  
do, speak up! Also, if there are those that have experience  
transitioning from CVS to git and can tell me how to do it easily, let  
me know!

If I don't hear any protests, I'll move ASDF into git without its  
history by Tuesday.

thanks,
