this is even possible.  

from drupal maintainers-news:

-------- CVS IS BEING REPLACED WITH GIT

--------------------------------------



Drupal.org is moving off of CVS for project version control! The Drupal

Association sponsored the project to help move drupal.org to a more modern

system enabling the community to do even smoother collaboration. Your new

helper will be git (originally written to manage the Linux kernel code). The

team is hard at work to accomplish the migration before Drupalcon Chicago.

Mid-Februrary is the tentative launch date.



What does moving to git mean for Drupal.org? Read more at

http://groups.drupal.org/node/106224



We made the existing source of drupal.org projects available under

git.drupal.org in a ready-only mode, so you can use it to roll patches or

just check out code already.



It's very important to understand that the migration will not be a gradual

process - when the flip is switched, CVS will become instantly read-only, and

git will replace it entirely. So the sooner you familiarize yourself with

git, the better! Get books for the holidays, read some great tutorials. Here

are some of our tips:
