Well, still you skirt around the main issue, I use git in numerous scenarios: *) As a front end to a CVS and/or SVN repository. *) To manage files in my $HOME directory. In the case of the first point, I have people using CVS/SVN directly without them ever knowing I used git to commit my changes therein, Is this what you're asking? It's certainly possible and not too difficult. -- Thomas Adam -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
