I don't think we have any reason to keep the CVS repository any longer. It's way too slow and rather user-unfriendly. Nobody will want to use CVS if he could have any other alternatives. I think the Subversion repository should also be abandoned. I tried Mercurial, it's rather powerful and very easy to use. I suggest that we just stick with Mercurial and only use this as official repository. If any other people wish to use other forms of repositories, they can publish their unofficial mirrors, just as vim-cocoa does. > I hope to bring out a first beta version by the end of May.
