And it misses the point I have made, that I don't really want
compatibility garteways etc for the buildfarm, as it is meant to mimic
the process that woluld followed by a human to check out, build and test
by hand. If pg moves then the buildfarm will need to move with it.

This decision really belongs to the handful of people who do most of the
maintenance and live with most of any CVS pain that exists: such as Tom,
Bruce, Peter, Neil, Alvaro. Othe people have a right to voice an
opinion, but nobody should be pushing on it.

If we were to move now then subversion would probably be the best
choice, on maturity grounds if nothing else. That might well not be true
in a year or two. I don't want to move more than once, so waiting and
seeing makes a lot of sense to me.
