+       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.  For example, the 'bootstrap' script still cater to .cvsingore
+       files and CVS directories, for the benefit of those poor gnulib clients
+       still stuck with CVS.  Ditto for the 'gnulib-tool' script itself.
+
+       * gnulib-tool: Simplify accordingly.
+       * posix-modules: Likewise.
+       * MODULES.html.sh: Likewise.
+       * doc/gnulib.texi: No longer mention the decommissioned CVS gnulib
+       repository.
+       * doc/gnulib-intro.texi: Likewise.
+       * doc/gnulib-readme.texi: Likewise.
+       * doc/gnulib-tool.texi: In the examples and explanations, refer to a
+       sample '.gitignore' file rather than a sample '.cvsignore'.
+       * NEWS: Update.
+       * m4/extensions.m4: While at it, remove a comment mistakenly referring
+       to "CVS Autoconf" rather than "git Autoconf".
