Honestly speaking, I am not too thrilled about making the
cvs-migration document much longer than what it currently is.

Honestly speaking, you've spent too much time in looking for every  
possible
objections against these simple additions. At least it should be  
less than the
time I've spent in measuring every single word of this patch, hoping  
you could
consider them for inclusion. You gave me lot of attentions (I am  
grateful of this,
really) so I should probably be surprised of the cleanliness of git  
code, of the
rigor of the code style, of the clarity of the documentation. But  
unfortunately,
I am not. I simply tried to make this document more useful and  
helpful for a
wider audience of people that could ever consider of using git in  
their life.
And yes, I decided to so because I had trouble myself during initial  
configurations.
What's the problem if a document called "git for CVS users" is more  
explicated?
What's the problem if it contains as many as possible informations  
to set up
git in a viable way and, hopefully, to learn something on how it  
does work?

I'm sad. Not only because you refused a documentation patch, but  
because i could
have sent a "Bug: Documentation Sucks!" to the ml and i would have  
obtained the
same thing: nothing.

On the contrary, I think you received some excellent, high-quality  
feedback. The process that you've been participating in over the last  
few days is exactly why the Git codebase is as good as it is; only the  
very best patches get accepted, and those which aren't "the very best"  
receive detailed feedback that help the submitter to turn weak patches  
into strong ones. The process works very well and the proof is in the  
pudding (the quality of the product).

Cheers,
Wincent
