I second the move to git. I'm already storing my gEDA resources on GitHub.

I imagine in the short term, gedasymbols.org could just convert the
repository to a git one, but I would think that the long term goal would be
giving each user a git repository for their symbols. Perhaps a super
repository could be made for those that want to check out the full
collection of gedasymbols repositories.

These are well known deficiencies of CVS. IIRC, it was these very problems<=
