I did two big tests on cvs -> git and now I have all ready… I suppose all we need to make it work is a bit of synchronization now.

I propose we do it Feb 15 - Feb 17. I have an extended weekend so I can pour additional time in process if needed. Please let me know if anyone has some last moment questions, doubts, suggestions.

TIA,
dd
