Up until very recently I was not aware of it's existence. This would make it very difficult for someone new to the Project to contribute. It seems to my line of thinking that the existence of a repository That is undocumented, that is used for major development proccess's Breaks our development model. Further enhancing the "Elite" attitude that is so often proscribed To BSD* developers.

As it seems people are forming a list of cvs alternatives, anyone ever took a look at arch? http://regexps.com/#arch A buddy of mine just mentioned it, and it seemed to fit in this discussion, i don't know it myself though. It's covered under the GPL.
