I think most of that is a good addition to the documentation.  Thanks
for adding that.

However I think the general move to git is a good thing and that we
should encourage git and discourage the continued use of cvs.

Instead of describing how to get the automake source from cvs I
propose that it describe how to get the source from the git copy of
the repository instead.  If all three of the source repositories of
automake, gnulib, and coreutils are described using git then it would
provide a single flavor of version control tool for all three.  It
would be more consistent across the set.  I think that would be a good
thing.
