This changed a few months ago when ports and doc switched.

As of now:


- SVN is *the* source of truth.

- CVS is exported from svn. It will eventually go away
- git is exported from svn. It will remain as an option for developers
(including myself).

SVN is *always* up to date.  We try really hard to keep the others up
to date, but fail at times.
