Help ESR Stamp Out CVS and SVN In Our Lifetime
mtaht writes ESR is collecting specifications and donations towards getting a new high end machine to be used for massive CVS and SVN repository conversions, after encountering problems with converting the whole of netbsd over to git. What he's doing now sort of reminds me of holding a bake sale to build a bomber, but he's well on his way towards Xeon class or higher for the work. What else can be done to speed up adoption of git and preserve all the computer history kept in source code repositories? ESR says he'll match funds toward the purchase of the needed hardware, so if you want to help drive him into bankruptcy, now's your chance.
Git set and aid esr for cvs and svn fix. HTH.
For all intensive purposes, "whom" is no longer a word. That begs the question, "who cares"?
I just want CVS to stop giving me so much shit when I try to buy up all their Sudafed.
I'VE GOT A *BAD COLD*, ALRIGHT?!! THAT'S WHY!!!!!
SJW's don't eliminate discrimination. They just expropriate it for themselves.
Yo dawg, I heard you like CVS so I put your pharmacy's dyslexic tabular data in version control.
...or something like that.

Git is the best repository because it's the easiest to insult when something goes wrong. "Stupid git!" is a lot better than "Stupid CVS!"
Not a sentence!
The allergies are so bad this year that the drug dealers are turning meth back into Sudafed.

Clearly then, the next generation version control system should be named "Sexy Flanders".

Now you have my attention.
Not a bad way to go out if you think about it. Assume ESR in his doctor's office: "You have three months to live."
"Cool! I'm going to instigate a full on crapfest buying spree fueled by my "GeekNation." We'll pre-order *everything* Intel, Foxconn, and Cisco are going to produce in the next two decades, I'll be long dead once the bills start to roll in, and Western Civilization will collapse into a black hole of insolvency before anyone realizes what's going on. Suck it PRC bastards! I'll be bigger than Hitler!!! Woohoo!"

[A bit over the top, I admit, but we are discussing ESR.]
