it is about a year old.
however updating it using cvsimport was easy and did not take to long.
when i get some time after the conference i'll publish the updated repo.

i tried during the conference.
updating from cvs went fine, using cvsexportcommit is a bit odd but also
worked. (last commit from me is done that way)

however after that updating with cvsimport again seemed to cause some
issues, but i am not sure what the reason is. i think cvsimport just
recognizes that i already have the commit (since i made it) and does not
update the branch.

i am definetly going to try to continue commiting to pike through git,
so i'll work in figuring out what's the issue here. (it may just take a
while since i am not really commiting that often :-)

greetings, martin.
