It is usually wise not to make comments like this, they don't help in building the community.

I'm assuming that the primary functionality they want via their IDE is checkout/diff/commit/log.
Now, that's a great strategy. Tell the large project you are interested in switching off from CVS to git that they need to run a CVS emulation gateway forever. I don't think a switch has much of a chance of happening.
Quite a lot of Windows developers have no problems using multiple tools for things, I'd assume they would also be able to use any existent port of git (to Windows) to do the esoteric things like branching/bisect/etc. Anand - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
