I guess my feeling is that this is contained and infrequent enough  
that CVS branches or even development areas are sufficient. Git is  
really powerful, but it is also harder to use in the common case (git  
add, git commit, git push). Not to mention that the unit of commit,  
like svn, really doesn't match how heavily compartmentalized CVS is.   
It's very rare to have commits that touch many directories which you  
want to view as an atomic action.
