[_kst_]

Valid points; I never claimed that CVS is better than Git in general. I still use it for some things mostly out of habit and the fact that it's not really worth the effort of migrating (again, this is mostly for collections of files that don't depend on each other).

As for the (rare) corrupted files, I don't know what caused that. They were single-bit errors that I could correct by manually editing the *,v files. I know of no reason to assume that such errors are more or less likely with Git vs. CVS.
