I updated it a couple of weeks ago, but not since then.

I suggested that once we've switched gnulib to git,
it'd be nice to have an automatic process that would mirror each
git delta to the (legacy) CVS repository.  Then, if somehow,
something catastrophic happens to the git repo and we need to go
back to using CVS, we can simply throw away the GIT repository
and switch back to using CVS.

I hadn't spent time on that, but am doing so now.
