Re: [Savannah-help-public] coreutils is moving to distributed version control

[Sylvain Beucler]

Hi,

You should be able to use:
cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/srv/git/sources/coreutils/main.git
Currently you have a single repository with git-shell &
git-daemon access.

I'm getting more familiar with git and things may change in the
future, but I'd like to have your point on this :)
