Actually I think, that the code in the CVS is not developed in a
really distributed way anyway. Most of the stuff there is rather
focused on single persons or very small teams. For example: Most
commits in zexy come from IOhannes, most in list-abs from me, only
Matju commits to DD, Hans has his pd-extended branch, but also uses a
lot of separate patch files and the list goes on. 

It's not like a team of 60 developers would work on the same files or
even the same binary, like it is with the Linux kernel, it's much more
separate. And I don't think it's separate, because of technical
restrictions coming from CVS - it's separate because of the way the
people in the Pd community work.
