Because we are not just moving source control backends, but also
changing workflow, a cvs gateway to the git server wouldn't get you very
far, unless it's a pretty hacked up gateway. If somebody wants to work
on a gateway that's cool, I'm not considering it a blocker to rolling
out the change, once we have a working proof of concept and a solid
migration plan blessed by FESCo.
