     Perhaps we should ask what kind of time frame to expect.  If it's
     going to be a few months, that's probably fine.  If it's going to
     be a few years, we probably want to reorganize before then.  In
     between, who knows?
     

I did a bit of investigation.  savannah.gnu.org uses the savane
software.  Currently savane seems to offer a choice of CVS or Arch ---
that's with Savane-1.0.5.  But Savannah is currently on 1.0.4. So
presumably if and when they move to 1.0.5  then Arch will be offered
as well.   

I've not used Arch, but I understand it has fills a lot of the gaps in
CVS.  Eg: Atomic commit model and clean renaming of files.

I'll send the savannah-hackers a email and ask them what their
intentions are.
