I'm actually really impressed what so many of the OpenBSD developers can delete/reformat/edit the OpenSSL code at the speed they seem to be working right now and not run into issues with CVS. One awesome thing about CVS is cvsweb ( which is a separate thing, I know), I much prefer browsing around, diffing and viewing changes in cvsweb compared to say GitHub or Bitbucket.

Sort a side note: OpenBSD really seems to have picked up speed after they fundraising. It wonderful to see the money has been so well spent.

Sorry, there's nothing awesome about CVS, especially not cvsweb.

If you want a git client that's graphical, there's dozens to choose from, many of which do a lot of what cvsweb does and more.

You can also create your own Gitorius (https://gitorious.org/) server and view changes there before pushing to the upstream. It's like your own personal GitHub.

It is wonderful to see improvements. It's just that a refined CVS workflow is downright awful compared to the default git one.

Being able to git clone, monkey around with your own branches, and never need commit rights is a huge deal for those looking to work with and improve your software.

Me too. It would be really nice though if it gave the option to show diffs for all files touched by a single commit.

I'd also love to get the diffs along with commit messages straight into my mailbox...
