Good lord. Surely, no one is working on reimplementing CVS in 2017?
The CVS repository (https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/cvs/ https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/cvs/) seems to actually have quite a bit of recent activity, so it seems to be a serious project that someone intends to deploy in the real world. There are a handful of things that the OpenBSD project does that I feel are quixotic (continuing to use CVS for everything, in general, is one of them), but this one takes the cake. CVS was good when compared to what came before (and in some regards even compared to Subversion), but there's no comparison with git (or any of the modern DVCS, really).
