Ok. That still leaves the bandwidth issue (the full diffs are bigger than the commit object), but usually the diffs in individual commits aren't _that_ large, so maybe it's a non-issue.
Oh, btw, I notice that you moved klibc over to git - care to share your cvs->git script (I assume you scripted it ;)? That would seem to be an obvious addition to the core stuff..
