I'm an unknown here, I know - I've used PostgreSQL for years, but only
recently started following the development community... And at this
point I'm still pretty much just following, hence my interest in getting
a GIT repot of PostgreSQL. GIT is *very* helful at a "new" code-base.

I have my CVS->GIT conversion running hourly from the anon-rsync of the
cvsroot. I don't know the specifics of the PostgreSQL rsync/mirror
setup, so I may be pulling it more frequently than it's actually
published, but until I hear from someone that tells me I'm taxing to
many rsync resources, I'll just leave it that way... The CVS->GIT
conversion is cheap - it's the rsync that takes most of the time... I
can run it more frequently if people think it would be valuble and the
rsync-admins don't care...

And remember the warning I gave that my conversion is *not* a direct CVS
import - I intentionally *unexpand* all Keywords before stuffing them
into GIT so that merging and branching can ignore all the Keyword
conflicts...
