You're assuming that any productivity gains made by switching to git (or something else modern) would be overshadowed by the time and effort it'd take to migrate. I don't have any evidence either way, and I bet you don't either.

(Most) people don't use git (or hg, or whatever) because it's shiny and new, but because it gives them a better workflow and higher productivity.




You can still use git with cvs backend.

Probably migration to svn would be smarted since it doesn't change current workflow, granted they actually have a need to migrate.


And you are assuming there are productivity gains. Their workflow is handled just fine by cvs. Moving to git would provide very little benefit.


As I said, I'm not assuming anything, and don't know either way. I suspect you don't either, so it's silly to reject the idea of migrating out of hand.


Why do you suspect that? I was an openbsd developer. I am quite familiar with their workflow, and cvs suits it perfectly well. There is virtually no gain for them to move to git, and a ton of pain.
