Well, partially correct.
My workflow today is that I do the commit on a git repository in my
Windows VM. Which I then "git push" out to my linux box. Where I do a
make to be sure I didn't break things :-), and then just extract the
patch with "git diff" and apply it manually to the cvs tree, and finally
I commit in cvs...
Even if we move to git, I have no desire to push directly from Windows
into the core repository. I'll still stage it through a local one.
