This sounds like something we could do, but I don't think we should do it. For one, after we move the hosted stuff away from cvs-int, that box will get a complete makover and one that, as far as I can tell, won't include git. I'm not sure what problem this solves really.
If there is a real need in Fedora to use git, why not just put together a proposal for migrating cvs to git? Lots of people have
Hi Mike,
That's a much bigger shift, and will probably take a long time to realize. On the other hand, providing a service like this is easy, and might help nay-sayers realize the value. In the mean time, people who find it useful get the benefit right away.
tried this, its not an easy task. But adding an additional SCM for GIT which is JUST a copy of what's in CVS sounds like a waste of our resources. Why not also do SVN, BZR and Mercurial?
IMHO, they're not as useful.
If Fedora doesn't want to do this, I can probably set up something independent and provide public git:// access.
