I'm proposing a DSCM with easy branching and merging to implement this background writer process :) The one below is already available, so we don't have to do a "flag day" with it. http://repo.or.cz/w/PostgreSQL.git There are git-cvsimport and git-cvsexport utilities which make communication between the legacy SCM and the DSCM straight-forward.
