Folks,

Despite non-trivial dislike for git, I would not be adverse to
migrating libtiff to github for ease of collaboration.  I imagine we
would be able to preserve the CVS history, but I imagine we would
start the bug database over again with the old bugzilla left around in
read-only mode.

I hated mercurial when I once used it, and it has limited mind share
so I'm hesitant to aim for it.

Best regards,
Frank
