Using Git means that next to every user will download the whole history of changes with logs for every file in the tree, which is an overkill for web pages where typical use cases are fixing a typo on a page, uploading a new page or at most making a set of changes on multiple pages. Our Git server already suffers overloading; if Git is used for web pages, the situation will yet deteriorate. > But, since we currently have it in CVS - have anybody made the effort > to handle the CVS repository with git on top of it?
