That's great! Help with the documentation is always appreciated.

Note also: http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/Git/

I think that is probably documentation you are missing.

You can check out the current documentation with:

svn co svn+ssh://svn.savannah.gnu.org/administration

Personally I use the git-svn interface.  The use of it is documented on the HowToAdminThisWiki page.

  http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/HowToAdminThisWiki/

Please use the savannah-hackers-public at gnu.org mailing list for discussion. That is a lot easier than the ticket tracker. Thanks!

Note that there is no need to disable CVS. Most projects leave it enabled. We do recommend putting in a hook to notify users that the current repository has moved.

Looking at http://savannah.gnu.org/maintenance/UsingGit/

it is very unclear what the process is for a dev to begin using git with a previous CVS repo. The steps for using git as a developer appear first, and there's no warning that before using git, you should disable CVS and enable git on the project admin page.

I would like to offer to help with this documentation.
