Savannah already hosts an official GNU package named GNU C Reference Manual, it uses CVS (the latest commit was 5 years ago). https://savannah.gnu.org/p/gnu-c-manual Is it something completely different? > Do you have a way to take a bunch of backup versions from Emacs editing > and convert them into revisions in the repo? For a single file $f, something like this may work, cvs update $f ls $f.~*~ | sed "s,^$f\.~,,;s,~$,," | sort -n | while read no; do cp $f.~$no~ $f; cvs commit -m 'Emacs editing revision '$no $f done In order to avoid entering your SSH password on every cvs commit, you can load it to ssh-agent with the ssh-add command. It will be harder if you need multiple files in a single commit or if you want meaningful CVS log messages.
