   *Update*
   
   After some complaining on the git@ mailing list a patch has been produced which
   drops the memory requirements down quite a bit.  I can now, without much tuning,
   work on my 512 system.

 TBD  is there a list of these?  build systems?
   The entire build infrastructure of NetBSD should (even without giti) change into a "jobs"-oriented workflow instead of a "server"-oriented workflow.
   
   Very recent (summer 2017) events have shown that the ability to move things around is very important.

   git is the most widely used VCS ever so it has the best chance of conversion tools existing.
   No future tool will be able to exist without a git-conversion script.

   I think this is less a function of the tool and more a function of the project not
   allowing non-"standard" actions.

   Assuming conversion starting from date(x) to freeze(y) is relatively easy, the
   refinements of Joerg/ESR conversion can continue to run in read-only mode as they
   do today.  This means the "switch" is a few hours only for:
   
   1. cvs goes read only
   2. history from last git conversion pull until now is appended
   3. cvs is turned off
   4. git is made available over ssh
