[un-CC'ing fink-core, since I'm not a fan of cross-posting, and I  
think that fink-devel is probably the appropriate audience.]

For what it's worth, here are some of my notes on using CVS to pull  
the .info files in, and using Git locally to track changes:

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.macosx.fink.devel/17370

I wasn't fully aware of git-cvsimport or any of the other CVS-to-Git  
tools when I wrote that, so I guess my main take-away point is that  
whatever your local workflow is, you probably want the stable/ and  
unstable/ trees to be automatically updated from CVS.

We don't seem to have as many "horizontal" .info file changes these  
days (that is, where one developer makes a small change to a bunch of  
info files - such as when we were getting ready for 10.6). However, if  
you have one tree representing unstable/ and one representing local/,  
it is very easy to spot those changes, and merge them appropriately.
