As far as I can tell from the URL above to share foo's work,

1) foo publish his work to ~foo on git.postgresql.org

2) bar retrieve patches from 1) then apply to his own git braches.

I'm not sure this would improve existing method.

The method I propose would be something like this:

1) commit foo's work into the CVS repository.

2) bar does cvs update on his CVS working file.

It seems later method is easy to use. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
