  CVS? Seriously?
  - packetized 11y ago
    It's still a very widely used version control system, despite the popularity of git. If it works (and well), why change it?
    - danellis 11y ago
      The "well" part is questionable. It's been many years since I used CVS, but I recall things like branching and merging being much more tedious affairs. People move on to things like Git not just because they're fashionable, but because they're more productive. When I see a large project still using CVS, it makes me wonder if there's some point trying to be made.

        Presumably, part of it is related to licensing - OpenCVS being a BSD-licensed tool.

    ViewCVS/CVSweb is still better than anything I've seen for Git.

    You are NOT OpenBSD.

just to be clear, the hypervisor's code is this one : http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/src/sys/arch/amd64/amd64/vmm.c?rev=1.6 http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/~checkout~/src/sys/...
