Re: [Census] So who uses git?

There's also another git usage that I doubt I'm alone in doing.
I regularly use git to import cvs trees from sourceforge etc for
random projects, because I now find browsing history of projects
with tools like gitk much nicer than any cvs tool I've used.
(cvs annotate is the only thing I really miss).

I think this is the real driving factor for git adoption: it doesn't have
to be 10x better for people to use it, because individuals can use it for
interacting with CVS projects without causing anybody else any pain.

IMHO, this is a killer feature of GIT. From a CVS/SVN user point of
view, it has vendor branches done right. At work, we do that with
Moodle, Elgg, EPrints and GForge. And the list is growing. That's why
I'm working on the toolchain to make interop with CVS smooth so I can
land patches in  upstream projects where I have cvs access.
