Assume gnulib is checked out from Git, not CVS In fact, access to the gnulib repository through CVS has been disabled, or more precisely, got broken and was never restored; see: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2013-05/msg00008.html> Note that support for CVS is not removed completely and unthinkingly by this change: only support for CVS checkouts of gnulib itself is removed.
