Here's a first cut:
git clone git://sources.redhat.com/git/binutils
Determining which subdirectories of src/ to include
and ensuring that the mirroring process does the right
thing with those, and only those, was a little tricky.
Please ensure that all of the required parts (and no more)
are included in a git clone.
Also, while all branches *should* be included, I have made
no attempt to compare the contents of any git/cvs branches.
If you care about a particular branch, please ensure at least
that the same files are on the head of each.
The gitweb interface should work soon,
http://sources.redhat.com/git/gitweb.cgi?p=binutils.git
but I don't have write access to the directory
that has to be changed to fix it.
