[SCM TRANSITION] Re: Proposal: move Randr protocol and library to git

[Shawn Starr]

I strongly disagree. Unless you want to write scripts to handle SCM(n). If the core Xorg libs/proto stuff moves to git, we might as well move all of the Xorg pieces to git. Modularization doesn't mean making buiding/developing on X even more difficult. I fully agree with Egbert. Either you pick one or you'll seriously impact X development.

an user and you're trying new things you may need to download projects
not hosted in fdo.org, ej: kernel snapshots when dealing with drm or a
metacity version featuring some new feature. And from a user perspective
using several SCMs is not an issue at all, since you just do "cvs update",
"git pull", "svn whatever" or switch branches if anything. Also, for a 
user the code is read-only, so it's possible to use git -> cvs gateways
if using several SCMs gets to be a problem.
