[cairo] Plans (and motivation) for moving cairo from CVS to git

[Vladimir Vukicevic]

If there's a wholesale switch that's going to happen, subversion
doesn't really seem a good candidate -- it's great as an incremental
upgrade to cvs, but feature and usability-wise, monotone/git/etc. all
seem like better choices for projects that can switch over fully to
something new.
