I was under the impression that Postgres was one of the last major FOSS projects using CVS before we switched to using git. Certainly that's what Josh Berkus said in a recent article. But today I found here that both MinGW and Cywin, both fairly substantial projects, are still using CVS. So I wonder how many others there are, and if they are considering moving.
On a related note, the WIndows git installation is amazingly big. It's about 172Mb of stuff. By contrast, an entire Mingw/Msys suite sufficient to build Postgres takes less than 1Gb. I know disk space is cheap, but there's no reason to be totally profligate with it. We've seen a few cases recently where buildfarm runs have encountered out of space conditions, and I'm looking at ways to have the client clean up more as it goes.
