moves maintaining the history and atomic commits are a serious 
improvement from my point of view, and "branches" have been created in 
the linuxtv.org CVS by copying more than once: remember the dvb-kernel, 
the dvb-apps and the dvb-kernel-v4 module which were basically branches 
of the DVB tree.

And personally I have to admit that I access the repository using slow 
conections pretty often...

:) well... right now all the linuxtv.org server stuff is not really kind 
of a running system, and when we clean up things we may as well do it 
radically. Unfortunally none of us is really experienced with all this 
admin stuff, thus we ask.
