Yep. It'd be nice to have official GIT and SVN etc. mirrors of the main
CVS repository. There's no pressing reason for the PostgreSQL project to
switch from CVS, but we could provide alternatives to developers. As
long as you can create a diff to send to pgsql-patches, it doesn't
matter which version control system you use. I'm interested in trying
GIT or Monotone myself, presumably they would be good for managing
unapplied, work-in-progress patches.
