git remote for cvs... (Switching to a new CVS server)

See http://docs.moodle.org/20/en/CVS_for_Administrators#Switching_to_a_new_CVS_server

For me, its like this:

find . -type f -name Root | \
  xargs perl -pi -e \

    's/:pserver:cvsuser:\@cvs\.sanger\.ac\.uk:\/cvsroot\/ensembl/:ext:db14\@cvs.sanger.ac.uk:\/cvsroot\/ensembl/'

I wish bioinformatics organizations would stop using cvs finally. It's almost 2012, we shouldn't be using tool from the 80s anymore when better tools are available.

@leon, yep I agree. I helped shepherd the migration of a number of the Bio* toolkits away from CVS (first to SVN, then to git). We still have a few stalwarts who want CVS, though.
