Basically you edit the file, then "git add", then "git commit", then "git push". You can play around with a repository before pushing your changes, so unless you completely screw things up, you can back out of most problems. magit is a nice package that abstracts most of the command-line stuff. And of course the Emacs VC package will work as you'd expect. If you want, I can convert the current CVS history of BBDB as you have it into a Git repository. It's pretty trivial; see http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/gitcvs-migration.html for a quick guide. Then you can simply clone that repository and use it on Savannah's Git servers or Github or whatever you like. You can keep serving CVS out of it but I would recommend cutting off CVS instead. I can probably do most of this if you add me to the admin list on Savannah so I can update the web pages as I go. >> The BBDB web page is outdated and should probably at least mention >> version 3.

(I cannot do anything about the old sourceforge page.) You can probably get the old sourceforge page transferred or redirected. But I'm sure this is a hassle for you.
