Thank you for details on how to do this with git. (I also saw other emails 
too.)

Now how is this supposed to be synced with CVS? (Or is it not?)

For those who use CVS to check out the modular X.org, will they get the 
lib/X11 updates also? Or do we have to install a git client to get the 
libX11 updates also?

Should lib/X11 HEAD now be deleted from CVS? (I still see it and now it is 
confusing since it is out of date.)

If git should be used, will someone please point me to the webpage or 
provide some notes here on what git client to use (maybe there is just 
one choice?), and what commands to run to get the latest libX11?

And is it okay to put those git versions of libX11 in the same tree as the 
rest of my lib/ files as retrieved via CVS? And what will happen next time 
when I do a "cvs up -dPA" in lib? Will my X11 be reverted/broken?

I think I heard that it was renamed from X11 to libX11 for git. But has 
the build.sh mechanism been adjusted to use that?

And another question :)  Is there a web-based viewer for the git libX11? 
(like cvsweb?)
