+ 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".

Gnulib is available for anonymous checkout. In any Bourne-shell the
following should work:
recommended that you use the @option{-w} option, in order to ignore
massive whitespace changes that happened in 2009.
-CVS checkouts are also supported:

The best way to work with Gnulib is to check it out of git.
-To synchronize, you can use @code{git pull},

Gnulib also contains files generated by @command{make} (and removed by
@code{make clean}), using information determined by
@command{configure}. For a Gnulib source file of the form
@file{lib/foo.in.h}, the corresponding @file{lib/foo.h} is such a
@command{make}-generated file. These should @emph{not} be checked
