Ahhh, I see. That has been discussed in the past. I personally do not have a problem with this setup (others might, IIRC) but we would probably have to figure out a smart approach to this.

That would be the plan. I would like to keep the current cvs around as a readonly history repo while all of the upcoming changes go into whatever system is decided upon. So no cron-cloned, just straight in. > > What is still needed with the <msbuild> task?

We have items that we wish to work on that may not reflect what you consider high priorities. Send in what you have and we can see where they would fit in. Like I have said before, we probably need to update our contribution instructions pretty soon after the repo decision is made.
